I. Introduction
New Information Technologies1 have been rapidly expanding especially over the last 2 decades. They are used in a variety of fields, by public and private actors. Governments as well as private companies are relying on information technologies to store, transmit and process data and handle information.
That development has gained additional momentum during the COVID-19 pandemic, with information technologies invading to all fields of life, including work, education or governmental services especially as regards public health.

In the following, I will first turn to new information technologies as opportunity for human rights protection to then examine the challenges posed by these technologies for human rights. I finally argue that human rights provide for parameters and establish a framework for the use of information technologies in times of pandemic which may guide states in their application.

On the one hand, information technologies may contribute to (indirectly) uphold the rights to health and life. For example, they facilitate the tracking of infected persons and their contacts, which is made faster and more efficient. Thereby, infection chains can be prevented and clusters reduced: The number of Covid-19 infections and, as a result, deaths is likely to decrease. Equally beneficial is more indirectly though technologies contribution to fostering scientific progress. The development of new medicines and vaccines contributes to uphold the rights to health and life.........
