All societies of today need security organizations to reduce their safety-related concerns. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that the safety of the individual and society is at least as important as the security of the state, and it is not possible to protect the rule of law and human rights and freedoms without democracy. This prominent characteristic of the new systemic order emerging in the environment of security and safety demonstrates that political and military organizations such as NATO may be necessary. The health and protection responsibilities of the armed forces fall upon member states, rather than NATO. However, this does not mean that NATO does not have a role to play in the fight against the pandemic, and as such, the member states that have been severely affected by COVID-19 have immediately resorted to the help of the Treaty. The response of NATO to the COVID-19 pandemic so far has demonstrated that the Treaty can play a significant relief role in the response of the member states to health-related emergencies. Since its establishment in 1949, the security policies of NATO have constituted a foundation for the formation of circumstances that would make these developments possible. This study discusses the role of NATO in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic and the future of NATO in the post-pandemic period.
