On Wednesday (20), Conectas and Cepedisa (Centre for Research and Studies in Health Law) are hosting the event “Criminal Liability and Covid-19”, to present research findings on the progress of actions against authorities with jurisdictional privilege, for crimes committed in the handling of the pandemic. Sign up here.
Researchers from Cepedisa conducted a mapping of actions aimed at holding public and private agents administratively, civilly, or criminally accountable for human rights violations committed during the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the objectives of the study is to contribute to holding individuals accountable for COVID-19-related crimes, addressing the issue as a matter of memory, truth, justice, reparation, and non-repetition.
At the event, the first article of this study, which has just been published in the journal, ´Direito e Práxis´, will be presented.
