Governments can sue China before international tribunals for COVID-19 'cover-ups'

[All_is_well]

 

An Israel-based attorney said that governments can sue China before international tribunals for covering up the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Key Highlights

• The governments can sue China before international tribunals for violating its obligation to report the coronavirus outbreak early
• China reported first patient that started showing COVID-19 like symptoms on December 10 
• The expert further said China cannot be blamed for creating the virus but can be held responsible for not sounding the international alarm about the outbreak

 

After US President Donald Trump referred to COVID-19 a "Chinese virus" and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused China, Russia and Iran of spreading disinformation about new coronavirus, questions are now being raised over whether Beijing can be held legally accountable for covering up the pandemic and clamping down on real information from being shared.

During a White House briefing on Friday Pompeo alleged that false information was coming from "places like China and Russia and Iran, where there are coordinated efforts to disparage what America is doing and our activity to do all the things President Trump has set in motion here".

 

 

Trump had also lashed out at China saying it was unfortunate that the new coronavirus got out of control.

According to a report in Fox News, the communist superpower can be held legally accountable.

'China can be sued before international tribunals' 

Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, an Israel-based attorney with specialization in suing terrorist regimes and state sponsors for violating human rights said that “an argument could be made that just like support for terrorism, which is legally actionable, a government that engages in such reckless disregard and negligence and covers up an epidemic which has the potential to spread worldwide could be held legally liable.”

 

 

The expert further said China cannot be blamed for creating the virus but can be held responsible for not sounding the international alarm about the outbreak.

The latest study by the University of South Hampton in the UK had said China could have prevented 95 per cent of coronavirus infections if its measures to contain the outbreak had begun three weeks earlier.

'COVID-19 could have been reduced by 66 per cent if measures were taken a week earlier'

"Coronavirus cases could have been reduced by 66 per cent if the measures were taken a week earlier or by 86 per cent if action began two weeks earlier. If the action was taken three weeks later, then the situation could have worsened 18-fold," said the study.

As per the timeline by Axios, it was December 10 when China reported the first patient that started showing COVID-19 like symptoms.

The governments can sue China before international tribunals for violating its obligation to report the coronavirus outbreak early.

The number of infections worldwide climbed to over 275,000 on Saturday, including over 11,000 deaths, according to John Hopkins University's coronavirus resource centre.
