MOSCOW, 29 Sep – RIA Novosti. To find a balance between the interests of the community and the individual in the context of pandemic coronavirus is very difficult, but States are forced to go to these measures for the life and health of citizens, said the Commissioner for human rights in the Russian Federation Tatiana Moskalkova.

“the Issue of concern (topic – ed.) restrictive measures absolutely right and suffered in the present day. But today we talked with ombudsmen from 11 countries, and all States are forced to go on restrictive measures for the sake of life and health. Here is a great, global, I would even say, scientific-philosophical problem of correlation of the rights of the individual and of community law. Of course, the individual one wants more freedom and he’s willing to risk your health. But the community is not ready for individuals to get sick and incur losses for the life and health of their loved ones and themselves. To find a balance between these interests is extremely difficult,” – said Moskalkova during a press conference at the press center MIA “Russia today”, answering the question, have human rights activists Amnesty International is reason to believe that restrictive measures on the coronavirus used to suppress human rights.

She added that her connection with this very important seems to be the proposal of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin that the head of each subject of the Russian Federation shall determine, based on the situation in the region, the regime and the list of restrictive measures that they need.

“Those who acted according to the pattern, faced with the protests of people because these restrictive measures were unnecessary,” – said Moskalkova.

human rights organization Amnesty International had previously published a report, which is concerned with the measures taken to combat coronavirus in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, including Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan and others. The organization considers them to be excessive and inconsistent with the obligations in the field of human rights.
