Leaders of 23 countries and the World Health Organization (WHO) have backed the idea of creating a global treaty that would bolster international cooperation in case of future health emergencies like the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
The idea of the treaty received formal backing from the WHO, as well as leaders of over 20 nations, on Tuesday. The UN health watchdogs and top politicians published a joint opinion piece, ran by major newspapers worldwide.
“There will be other pandemics and other major health emergencies. No single government or multilateral agency can address this threat alone,” the article reads.
To prevent coronavirus-style turmoil in the future, “nations should work together towards a new international treaty for pandemic preparedness and response.” The coronavirus pandemic, which has infected more than 127.6 million worldwide and killed nearly 2.8 million, has in their opinion exploited the world’s “weaknesses and divisions,” but it might also become an opportunity to “come together as a global community for peaceful cooperation that extends beyond this crisis.”
While the exact wording of the proposed treaty is still to be determined, the group urged the world to form a mechanism that would provide tools for a uniform response to global health emergencies.
The main goal of this treaty would be to foster an all-of-government and all-of-society approach, strengthening national, regional and global capacities and resilience to future pandemics.
“This includes greatly enhancing international cooperation to improve, for example, alert systems, data-sharing, research, and local, regional and global production and distribution of medical and public health counter measures, such as vaccines, medicines, diagnostics and personal protective equipment.”
The piece also strikes something of an environmentalist tone, advocating a “One Health” approach that would connect “the health of humans, animals and our planet.” The opinion piece has been signed by the leaders of Fiji, Portugal, Romania, the UK, Rwanda, Kenya, France, Germany, Greece, Korea, Chile, Costa Rica, Albania, South Africa, Trinidad and Tobago, the Netherlands, Tunisia, Senegal, Spain, Norway, Serbia, Indonesia, and Ukraine.
The idea of establishing a global treaty of sorts to create universal mechanisms to respond to Covid-like emergencies was first floated by EU Council President Charles Michel last November. Michel suggested such a treaty would ensure an equitable access to vaccines, medicines, and diagnostics in the event of future pandemics.

A Washington Post columnist, Catherine Rampell, headlined on April 5th, “The Great Medicaid Purge was even worse than expected” and reported: It’s a tale of two countries: In some states, public officials are trying to make government work for their constituents. In others, they aren’t. This week marks one year since the Great Medicaid Purge (a.k.a. the “unwinding”) began. Early during […]
By alienating Russia, antagonizing Iran, and seeking Western favour, Aliyev is engaging in a high-stakes gamble, Laura Ruggeri writes. In The Grand Chessboard*, Zbigniew Brzezinski, a major influence on U.S. foreign policy, referred to Azerbaijan as “the vitally important ‘cork’ in the bottle containing the riches of the Caspian Sea basin and Central Asia.” His […]
Since the first COVID-19 vaccine received Emergency Use Authorization in the U.S., some physicians and scientists have challenged the recommendation by U.S. health agencies that people who have already had COVID and as a result acquired natural immunity still get the vaccine. Some experts say the science to support vaccinating those primed with COVID doesn’t […]
