A COVID-19 Law Lab shares legal documents from over 190 countries, aiming to collaborate on the implementation of legal frameworks to manage the COVID-19 pandemic. The project is the result of a partnership between the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the World Health Organization (WHO), the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), and the O'Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law, affiliated with Georgetown University.
"Laws that impact health often fall outside the health sector. Because health is global, legal frameworks must be aligned with international commitments to respond to current and emerging public health risks. A solid foundation of health laws is more important now than ever," says WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
