Re: WHO members agreed to the draft text of the "Pandemic Accord" treaty.
The director-general of the World Health Organization (W.H.O.), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, announced on Monday that a final draft of a proposed “pandemic agreement” is only one article away from completion.
The W.H.O. has spent much time in the years following the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic promoting the establishment of a pandemic treaty or other international legal document to govern the behavior of sovereign countries in the event of another similar incident. The document – initially referred to as the “W.H.O. convention, agreement or other international instrument on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response,” or “WHO CA+” because countries could not agree on a name – would describe how countries should share relevant medical intelligence and distribute medical supplies and technology such as vaccines, and how to trace the origin of diseases to contain them.
The W.H.O. is apparently now referring to the document only as the “pandemic agreement,” though it would likely function in countries such as the United States as a treaty, which members of Congress have insisted should require approval from the Senate. American officials have expressed reservations that signing onto such an agreement would damage the ability of American companies to expeditiously develop technology to address new diseases and could make the U.S. government response subordinate to the W.H.O.
