Israel’s vaccination percentage was among the highest recorded worldwide. The Israeli government opted for a model using a proof-of-vaccine document (“Green Pass”). However, the “Green Pass” policy raises practical, legal and ethical concerns. While immunisation passports could be utilised to protect one’s health, significant legal difficulties arise from their usage as a vaccination encouragement scheme. Protecting health is a proper purpose, particularly as minimising the pandemic ameliorates the human rights violations that stem from the COVID-19 response, enables individuals to return to their daily lives and enhances economic activity. However, any privileges or restrictions guided by one’s COVID-19 immunisation status must be designed with the utmost attention to prevent a disproportionate violation of the human rights of the non-vaccinated and the public at large. Furthermore, as “Green Pass” policies might entrench existing discriminatory structures, ensuring equality is vital in moving forward. By exploring two case studies – labour rights and the right to privacy – we demonstrate the legal and public implications of the “Green Pass” regime. Despite the removal of the “Green Pass” in Israel, discussions continue regarding its modified reimplementation. The wider implications of the model might extend beyond its specific legal arrangements and limited temporal phase, requiring us to bring long-term public health into consideration.

从人权和公平的角度促进疫苗接种:以色列“绿色通行证”的教训

以色列的疫苗接种率是世界上最高的记录之一。以色列政府选择了使用疫苗证明文件(“绿色通行证”)的模型。然而,“绿色通行证”政策引发了实际、法律和道德问题。虽然免疫护照可以用来保护一个人的健康,但将其用作疫苗接种鼓励计划会产生重大的法律困难。保护健康是一个正当的目的,特别是因为最大限度地减少大流行可以改善因应对 COVID-19 而造成的侵犯人权行为,使个人能够恢复日常生活并促进经济活动。然而,任何以 COVID-19 免疫状态为指导的特权或限制都必须在设计时给予最大的关注,以防止对未接种疫苗者和广大公众的人权造成不成比例的侵犯。此外,由于“绿色通行证”政策可能会巩固现有的歧视性结构,因此确保平等对于向前发展至关重要。通过探索两个案例研究——劳工权利和隐私权——我们展示了“绿色通行证”制度的法律和公共影响。尽管以色列取消了“绿色通行证”,但有关其修改后的重新实施的讨论仍在继续。该模式的更广泛影响可能超出其具体的法律安排和有限的时间阶段,要求我们考虑长期公共卫生。由于“绿色通行证”政策可能会巩固现有的歧视性结构,因此确保平等对于向前发展至关重要。通过探索两个案例研究——劳工权利和隐私权——我们展示了“绿色通行证”制度的法律和公共影响。尽管以色列取消了“绿色通行证”,但有关其修改后的重新实施的讨论仍在继续。该模式的更广泛影响可能超出其具体的法律安排和有限的时间阶段,要求我们考虑长期公共卫生。由于“绿色通行证”政策可能会巩固现有的歧视性结构,因此确保平等对于向前发展至关重要。通过探索两个案例研究——劳工权利和隐私权——我们展示了“绿色通行证”制度的法律和公共影响。尽管以色列取消了“绿色通行证”,但有关其修改后的重新实施的讨论仍在继续。该模式的更广泛影响可能超出其具体的法律安排和有限的时间阶段,要求我们考虑长期公共卫生。尽管以色列取消了“绿色通行证”,但有关其修改后的重新实施的讨论仍在继续。该模式的更广泛影响可能超出其具体的法律安排和有限的时间阶段,要求我们考虑长期公共卫生。尽管以色列取消了“绿色通行证”,但有关其修改后的重新实施的讨论仍在继续。该模式的更广泛影响可能超出其具体的法律安排和有限的时间阶段,要求我们考虑长期公共卫生。
