On March 14, 2020, the government of the Republic of Indonesia announced the Covid-19 pandemic as a National Disaster. The whole community was asked to stay at home or work from home. This situation caused the daily activities of the community and government from school, work, trade, and others to become ineffective and delayed. This also affects all national and global corporate activities. Many business entities are disrupted due to the Large-Scale Social Limitation policy, so the company or a person cannot keep their promises as made in the previous agreement. This study examines whether Pandemic Covid-19 can be used as a reason for a person or a company to postpone the performance of achievements because it is considered as an overmacht, and how the legal force. This is a qualitative-library research using a juridical-normative approach. The results showed that overmacht is equated with the term force majeure meaning the state of force, in this case the debtor cannot be held accountable, because the situation occurs outside his control and not because of an element of negligence. The state of overmacht is regulated in the provisions of Article 1244 and Article 1245 of the Civil Code. The Covid-19 pandemic is considered as a forced condition, including the overmacht category, so that it can be used as an excuse for debtors to postpone or not carry out performance according to the agreement, provided that the debtor is able to provide reasons that the failure to fulfill the agreement is not because of them, but because something cannot be predictable, and inevitable.

Local and foreign scientists are now paying growing attention to various issues of property and the philosophical and ethical, political, economic, institutional, social, psychological, and other aspects of its formation, taking into account the requirements of large-scale transformation, which primarily concern post-industrial areas of social development. In consequence, as modern studies rightfully point out, considering property relations, two general restrictions should be taken into account: this is an attempt to explain the absoluteness of their roles, the presence and content of all aspects of socio-economic relations by property relations; and the denial of the role of property as one of the most important factors determining the direction of social development in the present and future.This situation forces a new look at the economic policy of the state in this area, because any financial and monetary measures taken by the government will be doomed to failure if their implementation will be without interaction with the mechanisms of the private property system. The article defines the entrepreneurial sector of the region, its interaction with the institutions of the market system operating in all sectors and spheres of the region's economy, and also shows the influence of the development of property relations on the institutions of entrepreneurship.

Abstract1968 has become synonymous with the large-scale global protests of that year. International scholarship has increasingly sought to examine instances of these protests in global peripheries, and amongst the most studied examples is Northern Ireland. The growth of civil rights protest in Northern Ireland in the late 1960s, which emerged from long-standing feelings of exclusion amongst the Catholic minority of the predominantly Protestant polity, was influenced by a broader international discourse of protest associated with the long 1968, notably the African-American civil rights movement. Simultaneously, in the west of Ireland, a number of protest groups also emerged in the late 1960s, frustrated at their communities’ perceived neglect by the government of the Republic of Ireland. This article will examine the emergence of these protest movements, discussing groups in the Galway Gaeltacht and other peripheral rural areas of Connacht, student activists in University College Galway, and campaigns challenging racism against the Travelling community. It will argue that they were influenced by the global protests associated with the long 1968, most notably by events across the border. For the purpose of the article, the ‘west of Ireland’ refers to the five Connacht counties of Galway, Roscommon, Mayo, Sligo and Leitrim.

The fourth paragraph at the opening of the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia states that the Government of the Republic of Indonesia is obliged to protect the entire Indonesian nation, promote the general welfare, and educate the nation's life which is a manifestation of the responsibility of the state which is obliged to create welfare for its people fairly and equitably equally. This constitutional mandate is spelled out in the form of regulations aimed at preventing injustice from the stronger party against the weaker party so that a just and peaceful society can be created. The method used to analyze this problem is through normative and empirical mix and match. The approach used in this study is a statute approach, conceptual approach, and case approach. Legal protection for workers is an obligation for the fulfillment of basic rights inherent and protected by the constitution as regulated in Article 27 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The logical consequence of this mandate is the birth of the State's obligation to accommodate facilities and the widest possible opportunity for the community so that they can get a job as well as make it something worthy of humanity. Thus, the violation of basic rights guaranteed by the constitution is a violation of human rights. Protection of workers is regulated in Articles 67 to 101 of the Manpower Law, including those concerning wages and welfare. However, when faced with the COVID-19 pandemic situation, the company immediately provided a force majeure reason to avoid paying severance pay for workers/laborers affected by layoffs. The problem that occurs, in this case, is the termination of employment carried out by companies using force majeure reasons by companies in Indonesia unilaterally.

The article first describes the position of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the Slovenian constitutional order, and discusses the possibilities to limit human rights and fundamental freedoms. In this section, the article introduces the concept of ‘limitations on limitations’ (similar to the German Schranken-Schranken) and presents the requirements of such limitations in Slovenian constitutional law. It then turns to the mechanism of temporary suspension and restriction of human rights and fundamental freedoms during a war or state of emergency as foreseen in Article 16 of the Constitution. In the third part, the article discusses the limitations of human rights and fundamental freedoms enacted brought forward by the government measures intended to tackle the epidemic, i.e. the concrete substatutory norms passed between March and October 2020.

The right to confidentiality or privacy is something unique between a patient's relationship with a doctor because it is based on trust. This patient-doctor relationship is unique because the patient believes in the doctor's ability and the patient believes the doctor will keep the patient's secret. The influence of the covid 19 outbreak has made people nervous and afraid because the virus is very easy to spread and spreads globally. The community asks to open data related to the secrets of Covid 19 patients, both in the form of names, addresses, symptoms, diagnosis, and interactions that have been made. Patient data which is classified as a basic right to privacy is an important component in breaking the chain of the spread of Covid 19 because the government has implemented large-scale social restrictions in certain areas to maintain social interactions so that the community can avoid exposure to this virus. This needs to be studied in depth regarding the Forms of Disclosure of Medical Secrets in the PANDEMIC Covid 19 Situation in Indonesia.This type of research is normative juridical research or what is known as doctrinal research. Normative juridical research is research that looks at problems through the aims and objectives to be achieved using surgical tools in the form of statutory regulations and regulations in a formal hierarchy of regulations as well as theoretical studies of updated and modern literature.Covid 19 Patient Information is data stored in medical records that can be provided based on patient consent or the law. But in Article 57 paragraph (2) of Health Law, the right to confidentiality is excluded, one of which is for the benefit of society.
