The proliferation of Coronavirus around the world and the need to maintain the health of individuals in society have forced many governments to impose restrictions on citizens' rights by imposing social distances, quarantine and closure of educational, economic and sports centers. One important action of governments in combating the spread of coronavirus is the digital tracking of people infected by coronavirus in some countries. This article seeks to answer the following questions. First of all, due to application of this policy in which aspect or aspects of protection of privacy can the states intervene? Second, given that the imposition of restrictions must be done where necessary, the question arises as to whether the restrictions imposed as a result of the digital tracking of people infected or suspected of having the corona virus and its transmission to other members of the community were commensurate with the need to maintain the health of members of the community. An examination of the various measures taken in countries around the world shows that the restrictions imposed on privacy can be justified by simultaneously respecting the health of the citizens of the community as well as the provisions of international human rights law.

In the framework of international human rights, the right to adequate food is a fundamental right of everyone to access to food which is safe and Nutrient. Risks which associated with GM food productions for consumers, has been arisen concerns of human right activists. Every state has the duty to ensure that all persons under its jurisdiction achieve at least minimum essential food which is necessary for his or her life. So that because of increasing supply of GM food in the market, and the obligation of states to ensure the supplement of healthy and safe food for members of society, the main question is about the obligation of states to ensure the balance between right to food and right to health on the base of international agreements in the field of food safety.

"The right to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of mental & physical health" is defined as a fundamental right which has critical important for the realization of the other rights. Belonged to the second generation of human rights, however, the right to health is in close linkage with other generations of human rights. This right entails a range of different rights which play inevitable role in its realization. To this end, enjoyment of the clean drinking water, adequate food, clean environment, access to essential medicines,… have been regarded as underlying determinants of the right to health. By virtue of this, we can argue that all human rights are interrelated, interdependent and inalienable. The realization of the highest attainable standard of health also depends on the maximum use of the available resources of states. Moreover, it would essentially be realized progressively.
