COVID-19 Response in the Eastern Partnership Region: Emergency measures and civil freedoms

Amid the ongoing worldwide pandemic of coronavirus COVID-19, governments have been rapidly introducing new emergency measures. While these measures aim to save lives, they also have a major impact on civil society space and fundamental freedoms.

This document summarizes the key measures that countries have introduced as a response to the pandemic (up to April 5, 2020) that affect human rights and civic freedoms, and highlights civil society organisations (CSO) responses.
