Summary/Abstract: In principle, in exceptional circumstances, social or natural, which threaten the normal existence of society, the state may resort to derogatory measures concerning most of human rights, that is their exceptional limitations, much more severe than those acceptable in a period of normalcy. However, the derogating measures must have a single purpose, namely to resolve the crisis situation and return to normalcy, so they must respond to an overriding social need, must be strictly proportionate, the limitation must be duly substantiated and the application must be non-discriminatory.
