“…Sovereignty locates '... the supreme power within a particular territorial unit' (Lewis, 1998) and it entitles a State '...to conduct its affairs without external interference' (Case Concerning Military and Paramilitary Activities, 1986). It also indicates '...the entitlement of a state to act as it wishes at the international level -the ability to resist intervention from the international community' (Crawford et al, 1994) and that '...sovereignty protects the right of peoples to determine their own future, without manipulation or exploitation by outside nations' (Conlon, 2004).…”

“…In fact, human rights are regarded to be part of customary international law and thus applicable to all the states whether or not they have ratified the various treaties or not (Lillich, 1995(Lillich, /1996. There is a view that the norms of human rights supersede the norms of sovereignty and the invocation of the norm of sovereignty is unavailable to states that engage in egregious violation of human rights (Conlon, 2004). Merriam has also argued that norms of sovereignty do not protect states that do not respect the basic right to life.…”

The emergence of COVID-19 and subsequent declaration of a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) by the World Health Organization (WHO) has brought into focus the role of the international health body in global health governance. Declaration of PHEIC under the ‘International Health Regulations’ empowers the WHO Director General (DG) to make emergency recommendations for measures which may require suspension of travel, halting of movement of goods suspected of spreading the disease; isolation or quarantine of suspected cases of infection and compulsory medical examination of individuals in certain cases. The declaration of a PHEIC may also amount to a threat to international peace and security as the ‘Security Council’ has determined through its resolution 2177 in the case of the Ebola crisis. In this context, the article seeks to investigate the importance of the two principles that play a role in the governance of health during a pandemic—one is the principle of human rights of individuals since it is the fundamental principle which forms a part of a governance regime; second, the principle of sovereignty since it is the States that decide whether to impose the measures and the extent to which the measures must be imposed.

“…The cold war will later have many implications and bring more challenges to the sovereignty concept, and the traditional meaning of sovereignty will be replaced with a new concept that revolves around conditional freedom from external interference. Sovereignty after the cold war also means obligations for the states, including protecting human rights by preventing wars and supporting self-determination (Conlon 2004).…”

“…The misuse of the concept by downplaying the obligations and the responsibilities of neighboring states, either by intervention or non-intervention, allowed military interferences that caused massacres, genocides, and ethnic cleansing. The international society often overlooked countries like Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia (Conlon 2004), and Syria. Some advocates held the concept of sovereignty responsible for the miseries of humanity throughout history.…”

Writing a successful dissertation is in some way like winning a Formula One race. You need a good car (talent, material, and knowledge), good strategy (clear plan and suitable approach), good team (supervisors and mentors), and fuel (energy to keep going). Except that for the dissertation, I am racing against my weaknesses and the deadline of course. I am very lucky to have many great people around me. Thanks to their help I can finally see the checkered flag. I am deeply grateful to my supervisors Prof. Dr. Stephanie Teufel, Dr. Bernd Teufel, and Prof. Dr. Marino Widmer from the University of Fribourg. Since I started my Master's studies, they have always been very supportive personally and professionally. I would like to express my gratitude for their ongoing support of my Ph.D. studies and research, as well as their patience and inspiration. Their advice was invaluable throughout my research and thesis writing. I would like to thank Dr. Jean-François Emmenegger for enlightening me about the statistical analysis stage of the research. His kindness and patience helped me find the right path after I was lost. Furthermore, I want to express my gratitude to Dr. Reinhard Bürgy, Dr. Toni Hürlimann, Francesca, and Vera for the great year I spent at the Decision Support & Operations Research Group at the University of Fribourg. I want to thank my colleagues from the iimt Kirstin, Yves, Mario, Julia, Virgile, and Melanie for the many memorable years of kindness, collaboration, and support. My sincere thanks also go to my best friends Kinan, Ashraf, Mohammad, Majd, Musaab, Muhsen, and Danilo. Thank you for the years gone and the years to come of selfless friendship.You are brothers to me.Last but not least, my sincere gratefulness goes to my loving wife Irina whose love and care were the fuel that kept me going, to my parents Khiro and Najwa, my siblings Hiba, Abdulrahman, and Zain, to my cousins Anas and Ahmad, to the sunshine of my life Elias, and to my brother Islam who lives on in my heart.There are no words that can express my gratefulness for all these people and their continuous support throughout the entire time of writing this dissertation. Without them, there would simply be no accomplishment. Thank you.comprehensive answer to that question will not appear, but at the very least, an indicator about the development direction will come up.Before elaborating on the matter, it is essential to refer here to the pH indicator, a chemical substance that changes the color of a solution when added. This process can determine the acidity or basicity of the solution. The name "indicator" describes very well the purpose of this substance. It is not a determinant, but it is just an indicator. The new color of the substance will expose the nature of the solution, but not its accurate pH number. So, the indicator's purpose in this dissertation's context is to sense the future understanding of security based on the evolution of security perception throughout the centuries.This area of research is based on security but in an exc...
