本研究課題の目的は、感染症法制を時（歴史）、国（比較研究）、分野（諸法学、倫理学、歴史学、政治学など）を超えて横断的に検証し、感染症法制に特有の解釈上の嚮導的理念を明らかにすることである。本課題申請後に発生したCOVID-19法制の検討も行った。結果として、患者の健康の積み重ねによって社会全体の健康指数を向上させることにより、感染症対策と人権保障とを調整しようとする点にわが国感染症法制の嚮導理念があると考えた。しかし、嚮導理念は学説および立法政策において十分に議論されてこなかったところ、COVID-19は、嚮導理念に基づく立法の整合性、その行政運用上の定着、社会的受容等の課題を顕在化させた。
The objective of this research was to examine infectious diseases legislation across time (history), countries (comparative studies) and disciplines (various legal studies, ethics, history, political science, etc.) and to identify interpretive guiding principles specific to infectious diseases legislation. As COVID-19 occurred after the application for this project, the legislation on it was additionally examined. As a result, we considered that the guiding principle of Japan's infectious disease legislation is to reconcile infectious disease control with fundamental rights protection by improving the health index of society as a whole through the accumulation of the health of individual citizens. However, since the guiding principle has not been sufficiently discussed by academia and by legislator, COVID-19 has revealed its issues such as the consistency of legislation based on the guiding principle, its establishment in administrative practice and social acceptance.
