Principle of Freedom to Decide of own Person, Threat to National Security and Safety

Abstract

In light of the major danger generated by SARSCOV-2 infection, both the internal and international legal order is conditioned and substantialized by the observance of the general principles of law recognized by the international society. A major problem was the need to limit the individual freedom of citizens in order to protect other fundamental rights, for example, the right to life, to quality medical care. Most of the time, these coercive measures were severely contested and a great controversy arose: „respect for individual freedom by accepting refusal of vaccination represents or not a threat to national safety and security?”
