Abstract:

In the climate of globalization, the spread of emerging infectious diseases, such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), resulted in the trend of global public health governance and fostered the adoption of International Health Regulations (IHR2005). This tendency provides an opportunity for governments not only to review and reform their infectious diseases control and response systems, but also to introduce new elements, human right for instance, into national public health laws and regulations.
The aim of this paper is to compare the extent of human right protection reflects in the public health laws and regulations in Taiwan and China. Both Taiwan and China were the victims of SARS crisis and modified the public health regulations concerning infectious diseases to cope with the rules of IHR 2005. During the SARS crisis, human right issues were on the table when governments decided to isolate people who are suspected as infected, in particular places for certain periods of time. In IHR 2005, State Parties shall implement of these regulations with full respect for the dignity, human right and fundamental freedom of persons. Based on the two time-axe of the SARS breakout in 2003 and the IHR2005 amendment in 2005, this paper focuses on the evolution of public health regulations concerning infectious diseases control on three time-spectrums, i.e. before SARS, before IHR2005 and after IHR2005 in both Taiwan and China to examine and compare the reflection and protection on human right.
