Résumé

La COVID-19 a frappé 212 pays à ce jour, sur tous les continents sauf l'Antarctique.

Notre vie familiale, nos interactions sociales, le fonctionnement de nos gouvernements et les relations entre les pays ont subi de profonds changements en quelques mois. Il sera difficile de se souvenir, plus tard, de tout ce qui est arrivé. C'est pourquoi un travail de collaboration comme celui présenté dans cet ouvrage multidisciplinaire est nécessaire.

Ce livre aborde les vulnérabilités et les interconnexions mises au jour par la pandémie et ses conséquences, ainsi que les actions entreprises sur les plans juridique, éthique et politique. Il examine les vulnérabilités des personnes qui ont été ou qui seront directement touchées par le virus et de celles qui sont lésées par les mesures prises pour ralentir sa propagation; les vulnérabilités exposées de nos institutions, de notre système de gouvernance et de nos structures juridiques; et les vulnérabilités dans d'autres pays, où des injustices persistantes nous nuisent à tous.

Il faut espérer que la COVID-19 nous poussera à réfléchir sérieusement à notre façon de gouverner et de fixer nos priorités politiques, et nous incitera à tenir compte de tous les segments de la société, et non seulement de certains d'entre eux, lorsqu'il s'agit de nous préparer, de prendre des mesures de précaution et d'assurer la reprise des activités.

Publié en anglais avec quelques chapitres en français.

The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which causes the disease known as COVID-19, has infected people in 212 countries so far and on every continent except Antarctica.

Vast changes to our home lives, social interactions, government functioning and relations between countries have swept the world in a few months and are difficult to hold in one’s mind at one time. That is why a collaborative effort such as this edited, multidisciplinary collection is needed. This book confronts the vulnerabilities and interconnectedness made visible by the pandemic and its consequences, along with the legal, ethical and policy responses. These include vulnerabilities for people who have been harmed or will be harmed by the virus directly and those harmed by measures taken to slow its relentless march; vulnerabilities exposed in our institutions, governance and legal structures; and vulnerabilities in other countries and at the global level where persistent injustices harm us all.

Hopefully, COVID-19 will forces us to deeply reflect on how we govern and our policy priorities; to focus preparedness, precaution, and recovery to include all, not just some.

Published in English with some chapters in French.
