Abstract

Covid-19 that occurred at the end of 2019 has become a serious problem for all countries in the world. To overcome this, countries have undertaken international cooperation, one of international cooperation is the UN General Assembly Resolution Number 74/270 regarding the global solidarity to fight Covid-19, which then creates a task force for the non-aligned movement. To support this general assembly resolution, security council also released Resolution Number 2532 (2020) regarding about a ceasefire for areas that are currently in conflict for 90 day. The main purpose of that Resolution is for humanitarian assistance in handling Covid-19, therefore the security process and world peace can be carried out. However, there are an obstacle and problem upon the implementation of this Resolution, such as to what extent the effectiveness of this security council resolution is adhered to by the parties in dispute. The method of it is normative legal research, which applies some legal approaches to answer the question. The results of this study are that there are still difficulties in compliance with UN security council resolutions such as the principle of non-intervention which is used as an excuse to prevent humanitarian assistance even though on the Covid-19 issued, so that the level of effectiveness of this resolution is unfulfilled.
