Abstract: Non pharmaceutical measures adopted by the governments in the world to cease the spread of the Covid-19 have limited some of the basic human rights of citizens and businesses. Temporary limitation of movement, socializing and performing the business are only some of them. The purpose of this paper is to synthesize and critically discus how the Government of the Republic of Slovenia managed the crisis of Covid-19 epidemic in the state in spring 2020. The synthesis and discussion are based on the review of the events in Slovenia assessed through the interpretation of human right lens. The results show how the law technique was used to manage Covid-19 pandemic. Furthermore, they reveal that there is a thin line between justifiable protection of the public interest to cease the spread of the virus and unjustifiable limitations of the constitutional rights. The study contributes to the evolving literature on crisis management with law technique and on protection of human rights in exceptional circumstances.
