To effectively roll back the spread of the virus in Liberia, President George Weah on April 10, 2020, declared the State of Emergency which was approved by the legislature. However, since the declaration, there have been gross violations and missteps in the enforcement of the state of Emergency and the measures as announced by the president. The National Commission of Justice, peace and Caritas do acknowledge that during a state of Emergency certain rights are suspended. The Commission strongly believes that the DIGNITY of every human being is and must be upheld during the state of Emergency. Together we defeated the Ebola virus Disease; together we can defeat COVID 19.
