Law and Justice in a Post-COVID World

Abstract
As a result of the spread of the COVID-19 virus, humanity has descended into anarchy at every level. Following the WHO's lead, a "global response" to the epidemic was organised on a variety of levels, primarily at the national government level, by the countries affected. The world's response to COVID-19 is notable for its re-imagination as well as its resilience. The "new normal" has emerged in the wake of the pandemic as a means of reorganising global society.It's because of the pandemic's transnational and worldwide nature that global law has come back into focus. Many questions have arisen about the state's duty and the obligation of states to protect under international law, not just in the context of global organisations like WHO. Many general concepts took on new dimensions as governments began to reclaim the concept of a global network of states.At a time when this epidemic is killing people, theorists are focusing on how "the crisis can be used to build a new future for international politics characterised by empathy, fraternity," justice and respect for human rights."
