Human Rights Community — Preparing for the Next Major Crisis

Eamon Gilmore
Eamon Gilmore, the EU Special Representative for Human Rights, welcomes GC Human Rights Preparedness as innovative, important and essential.

Emphasising that the COVID-19 crisis is a human rights issue — one of the most global and urgent ever seen — he explains that the human rights community must ask: what can we learn from this crisis so that we can plan better for the next one — whether that is another pandemic, a global climate change crisis or a major economic shock.
