- Abstract
COVID-19 is a global pandemic affecting almost all countries in the globe. The spread of the COVID-19 virus causes most cross-country activities to become obstructed and stop. Travel restriction policy is the common policy implemented in case of instances when handling the spreading virus. However, this policy must be carried out carefully and wisely because it deals with the movement of people guaranteed in a number of international human rights legal instruments as well as guaranteed by the Indonesian laws. For example, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), Universal Declaration on Human Rights were ratified by Indonesia. Moreover, In Indonesia, provisions regarding health rights are stipulated in some legal instruments such as Article 28 H of the 1945 Constitution, the Human Rights Acts, the Health Acts, the Regional Quarantine Acts, and others. However, the travel ban or limitation of movement must respect people’s human rights. This paper discusses the implementation of travel bans and the limitation of people’s movement from the normative perspective and human rights perspective. This paper concludes that this policy can be carried out based on the lex populi suprema lex principle, namely that people’s safety is the highest law. However, the travel ban policy must still take care to prevent violating the laws and human rights.
