“Although this situation is still developing, there is compelling evidence that both Chinese and Iranian regimes buried evidence of the pandemic in its critical early days, choosing to attempt to maintain power and/or stability at the cost of the health and safety of their own citizens and the global population,” writes Sarah Teich, an expert in human rights and security law.
It cites a study by the University of Southampton suggesting that if interventions in China had been conducted three weeks earlier than they were, COVID-19 cases could have been reduced by 95 per cent. The report said Canada and other governments have legal avenues they can explore to seek accountability from China and Iran.
The process for filing a claim with an international organization against China and Iran would start with a country initiating a complaint against them. These international organizations could then pursue an investigation, writes Teich. A final possible avenue that can be explored is to hold Chinese officials accountable through their legal system. Chinese officials may have breached the Frontier Health and Quarantine Law of the People’s Republic of China and the Criminal Law of the People’s Republic of China.
