The spread of Coronavirus in Italy has created the conditions for the government to declare the State of emergency. It has given the opportunity to manage the crisis, but has also limited people's fundamental rights. In this research, through the deductive-descriptive method, we will try to answer this main question: the actions of the Italian government to counter Coronavirus until what point are compatible with the fundamental rights present in the Constitution? After describing the concept of State of emergency, the government's decisions and the challenges about restriction of fundamental rights, we conclude that the government's actions have had a very negative impact on fundamental rights and freedoms. Not only these emergency decisions have had a very negative impact on people's rights in a democratic system, but the lack of parliamentary oversight about the actions of the Executive makes it reasonable to take a critical look at the actions of the Italian government.

As the reports of World Health Organization have proved so far, source of Covid-19 is the zoonotic virus which has been transmitted to human. Consumption of wild animals by humans as a source of nutrition is the main reason of emergence of these deadly diseases which has not only threatened the safety of millions but unfortunately has also put an end to lives of hundreds of thousands. This study through descriptive-analytical method tries to find the possible bases for prohibiting the production, consumption or trade of wild animals for nutritional purposes in international law. For this purpose and by legal arguments, it is explained that firstly; the right to food doesn’t ban these activities. Secondly, obligations of States on prevention of disasters oblige them to prohibit the production, consumption and their trade for nutritional purposes. In addition, in case of not finding an explicit basis for prohibiting these acts, States which don’t comply fully with their obligations in this regard will be presumed internationally liable. There is a lack of an obligation for States to prohibit these activities in order to preserve the biological diversity. Therefore, the conclusion of an international treaty is recommended for putting an end to the current trend.
