In their lives as physician, there are many regulations to maintain the application of virtue in their services. Unfortunately, now the erosion of virtues becomes more apparent. Some physicians are more profit-oriented rather than humanity-oriented.","PeriodicalId":419562,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127935282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The human mind has specificities, and some people may not have the autonomy necessary to perform acts in civil life, as considered an interface with psychiatry, and it includes the context of awareness in relation to the need for treatment to preserve their own life. The idea of violation of freedom and aggression to human dignity is upheld, while mandatory treatment is also defended as a necessary means of preserving life as well as physical and mental health of people with mental disorders. The purpose of this paper, the outcome of an exploratory and descriptive study, with a qualitative approach and deductive method, through bibliographical research, is to evaluate the possibility of State intervention in freedom, under the condition of compliance with the burden of justification, suggesting the proportionality as a legitimizing methodological criterion for State acts to be implemented in favor of respect and protection for the fundamental rights of people with mental disorders.","PeriodicalId":419562,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121365447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The principle was incorporated into the 1941 Atlantic Charter and the Dumbarton Oaks proposals which evolved into the United Nations Charter. Essentially, the right to self-determination is the right of a people to determine their own destiny. Such principle allows a people to choose their own political status and to determine their own form of economic, cultural and social development in medical law, the right to self-determination is strictly connected with the autonomy of the patient, which places as the center stone the respect for competent decisions by adult patients and the right of the people to decide over their own bodies. Bodily integrity in courts’ jurisprudence all over the world has been applied to wide range of human rights violations such as physical violence, ranging from corporal punishment to forced medical treatment, abortion, end of life decisions, etc. But when it comes to self-determination in medical cases, how free are we really, as individuals, to decide over our own bodies? This article aims to answer this question through courts’ case law on different aspects of patient autonomy, bodily integrity and the right to self-determination.","PeriodicalId":419562,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications","volume":"44 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116332608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By outlining the conditions of imprisonment that can be observed in the jailing system, the authors seek to critically reflect upon the role of justice in the society during times of hardship. The authors begin by tracing a historical background in a concise way, in order to elucidate how situations of illnesses and bereavement have developed during the years. After that, the authors compare judicial rulings involving the current prison status quo. To conclude, the authors seek to add to the debate joining the voices who cry out for more assertive measures in the preservation of life and health of detainees and prison workers.","PeriodicalId":419562,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126206600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the moment of writing, (11 August 2020), over 24, 000 cases of Covid-19 are confirmed and the pandemic is rising in unprecedented rate. Ethiopia has started taking various legal and informal measures prior to its first confirmation announcement on March 13, 2020 and since then.

The committee announced that security sector to enforce measures of ceasing large gatherings to maintain social distancing’ on 23 March. Similar measures were also taken by Amhara, Southern and Oromia regional states among the nine member states of Ethiopian federation though without legal gazette publication. On the top of that State of Tigray declared a State of Emergency (SoE) on March, 25, 2020. In similar vein, the federal government declared SoE by the Council of Minsters (CoM) on April 8, followed by the approval of the House of Peoples Representative (HPR) on April 13, 2020. Subsequently the Council of Ministers also adopted its implementation regulation. But the implications of these measures on human rights and freedoms, social, economic and political rights of the public was not strictly thought and studied. Thus, the main objective of this piece was to investigate implications of the above measures on human rights and rule of law principles. Accordingly, it shade some lights on substantive and procedural content of SoE in light of legality principle, proportionality and transparency, competence of government’s power at different level to mention the least in contrast to measures taken in various jurisdictions.","PeriodicalId":419562,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133229215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
