Abstrak

This research explores the effectiveness of legal systems in responding to public health crises such as pandemics or infectious disease outbreaks. A literature review approach is used to evaluate the regulations applied in various jurisdictions, as well as the extent to which the legal system supports institutional coordination, emergency measures, and the protection of civil rights. The analysis shows that successful crises handling is strongly influenced by legal flexibility, clarity of institutional mandate, and the existence of adequate oversight mechanisms. A strong legal system will support more adaptive and targeted policies, without compromising the principles of fairness and human rights. Public engagement and transparency of legal communication are important factors in maintaining policy legitimacy during emergencies. This research recommends strengthening public health legal that includes emergency protocols, protection of vulnerable groups, and legal education to the wider community. That way, the legal system is not only a tool for administrative control, but also a foundation for humanistic and equitable crises governance.
