ABSTRACT

COVID-19 has entered the international and UN legal documents with specific meaning and name. In view of the epidemic situation, the international law has made relevant regulations to adjust the rule system of interstate relations, strengthen cooperation among countries and jointly fight COVID-19. International law is a long-term consensus of the international community, which is conducive to safeguarding the interests of the international community. In the “International Health Regulations” (2005), the prevention and control rules and treaties for all kinds of infectious diseases were formulated, and “public health emergencies of international concern” were proposed. In view of the new epidemic situation, the international law has put forward relevant temporary and long-term suggestions, and the successful measures of various countries have been incorporated into it, which has achieved remarkable results. However, with the development of practice, contradictions and problems in international rules have emerged. All countries should cooperate with each other to develop in a coordinated way, further improve the international laws and regulations in the field of public health, and provide a strong guarantee for the stability of the international community.
