LNB News: BIICL publishes working paper on Rule of Law and technologies related to coronavirus (COVID-19)

The British Institute of International and Comparative Law’s (BIICL) Bingham Centre for the Rule of Law has published a working paper titled ‘The Rule of Law and Covid-19 related technologies' written by Dr Julinda Beqiraj, Rowan Stennett and Nyasha Weinberg. 

Lexis®Library update: The paper analyses technologies such as coronavirus (COVID-19) contact tracing apps through a Rule of Law lens.

The paper examines the following questions:

  • how is the Rule of Law relevant in the introduction of new technologies?
  • what are the different conceptions of the Rule of Law?
  • what are the core elements of a functional definition of the Rule of Law?
  • what are the advantages and limits of using a Rule of Law lens when assessing the introduction of new technologies?

The full paper can be read here.
