Abstract

Whether we are fighting a pandemic, financial or climate crisis, it is evident that we need solidarity, science, and decisive solutions. The recovery from the currently corona pandemic must guarantee a sustainable future for coming generations on a solidarity basis. The global vaccination plan, Covax brings together countries, companies, international organizations, and financial institutions, but nations must fight for its vaccine, only a 2 percent of the population started getting vaccinated. Most people in low- and middle-income countries still must wait. In this article, we examine how social solidarity can appear in the regulatory work of a nation or on a higher international level and, vice-versa, how law affects social solidarity. Our fundamental principle is that solidarity protects society from lawlessness, injustice, isolation, vulnerability and above all from disintegration.
