Abstract

This scientific article pretends to be developed from an analytic-reflexive perspective, to provide a broad knowledge from the point of view of the juridical definition of an internationally wrongful act, the international responsibility of universal and regional  organizations in the dispersion of Covid-19, by act or omission in strict accordance with the implication of the inexact collaboration from China in the study and opportune divulgation of the pathological consequences of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) in human beings, although it is true that individuals are not an important actor in the international concert like the different nations that compose it, but it could derive in an internationally wrongful act that attempts against the international peace and sanitary security.

It is pretended with this article to provide the reader a wide juridical international panorama that not only States that are part of United Nations have and possess the international responsibility that goes beyond the main intention of the United Nations Letter to preserve international peace and security in armed conflicts. Giving a more evolved interpretation to this international law principle in our present time, where there has being an insistent remark in the evolution of international law in the events that are constantly forging the XXI century, the United Nations Letter cannot be interpreted to refer nowadays only to peace and international security in armed conflicts, extending this principle in referring to an international peace and sanitary security worldwide, so that future pandemics will not paralyze our daily activities as individuals, and diminish the fragile economies of developing countries.
