Abstract

The rise in international travel poses significant health risks that require collaborative efforts among countries and international organizations. This study analyzes the legal implications of this issue using specific methodologies, including systematics, juridical reasoning, and statutory approaches, with a normative-qualitative data analysis technique.

States have obligations under national and international law to protect citizens' health, which includes enacting relevant laws and enhancing health facilities and services. Ongoing government efforts to control COVID-19 surges, particularly through vaccination programs, are critical for safeguarding public health..
