COVID-19
In the context of the evolution of the Covid-19 pandemic, every traveler who wishes to enter Spain must take into account that, in
addition to complying with the general entry requirements in Spain, exceptional measures restricting mobility are currently in force
in order to contain the spread of Covid-19.
As a result, all travellers, regardless of the circumstances of their trip, are strongly recommended to keep informed before their trip
about the restrictions adopted by the Ministry of the Interior on border crossing (interior.gob.es), as well as the sanitary measures
adopted by the Ministry of Health (mscbs.gob.es).
Health Control Form
All persons travelling to Spain from another country must complete the Health Control Form associated with their trip. When travelling
by air, this can be done via the web spth.gob.es or the app Spain Travel Health-SpTH (available for Android and iOS). When travelling
by sea, this can be done through the following link: spthm.puertos.es.
After finishing the form, you will get a QR code that you will have to present both at the time of boarding and upon your arrival in
Spain at the health controls.
At the present time it is not mandatory to present any form if the trip to Spain is by land.
Additional requirements: EU Digital Covid Certificate and other certificates
From June 7, 2021, if you come from a country/area considered at risk for Covid-19, you must present a certificate or document
certifying vaccination, an active infection diagnostic test (AIDT) or recovery from Covid-19. These certificates will be different if they
have been issued in a country of the European Union (EU Digital Covid Certificate) or in a third country.
The list of high-risk countries/areas, as well as the criteria used to define them, will be reviewed every seven days and their update
will be published on this page:

The Use of Artificial Intelligence to Provide Medical Andrew GROSSO
Care (Andrew Grosso & Associates)
As computer software becomes more sophisticated, Washington, DC, United States
and artificial intelligence is used to diagnose and to
treat medical conditions, the question arises as to
how to license and regulate such medical devices.
Issues that arise include:
(1) Does each new software update to an expert
system or an artificially intelligent medical device
need to be reviewed and licensed before it can be
used in the practice of medicine?
(2) Do self-learning machines need to be reviewed
after each change that such a machine makes to

itself, and how can that be done reasonably?
● (3) Should an artificially intelligent medical machine
Cibeles Puerta del Sol be treated as a tool that a physician uses, as an
assistant to the physician, or as the treating physician
itself?
(4) When an artificially intelligent medical device
commits an error, who is legally responsible for that

device and software?
(5) How do we anticipate, identify, and correct
implicit bias in software affecting the diagnosis and
treatment of patients based upon their sex, race, age,
and economic status?

Independence and the Rule of Law Jacqueline SCOTT
In the face of growing attacks on and the decline Director General -
of, the rule of law in many countries, independence UIA-IROL
as a concept is a quality that protects the citizenry (Fortney & Scott, LLC)
against the arbitrary. Necessary for justice, it must Washington, DC, United States
be constantly upheld and strengthened. In particular,
the protection of the independence of the justice
system – i.e., the independence of lawyers and judges
- is an essential condition for the preservation of the
rule of law. Not only is it imperative to guarantee
the independence of the judiciary, so, too, must the
independence of lawyers and bar associations, as
enshrined in the Havana Basic Principles, adopted by
UIA-IROL Session the Eighth United Nations Congress on the Prevention
of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders in 1990, be
● ensured to allow them to effectively assume their
Madrid 1-2 functions of assistance, counsel, and representation
in the service of the accused, and thus participate
in guaranteeing a fair trial. Finally, because the
independence of justice and the rule of law cannot be
fully guaranteed without the promotion of freedom
of the press and freedom of expression, it is essential
to also protect the independence of journalists and
the media, since any attack on their independence is
an equally great threat to the rule of law.
