The World Health Organization (WHO) along with other key bodies had launched COVID-19 Law Lab.
It is a database of laws that countries had implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The lab is a joint project of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), WHO, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law at Georgetown University.
This is the 1st initiative to start studying governance response to a pandemic and to measure what works and what not.
Its aim is to ensure that laws protect the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities and those they comply with international human rights standards.
