At the 76th World Health Assembly in May of 2023, World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros announced that the WHO will respond to the apparently inevitable growing number of future pandemics with amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR), a legally binding framework for WHO member states, and a new “pandemic accord” that define their “rights and obligations” in responding to global pandemics.

This makes “a generational commitment that we will not go back to the old cycle of panic and neglect that left our world vulnerable, but move forward with a shared commitment to meet shared threats with a shared response,” he said.

This begs the question — how will the WHO make this “generational commitment” to face the threats of future pandemics?

To help us answer this question is Dr. Amrei Müller, a professor in international law and co-director of the Global Health Responsibility Agency. Müller has been tracking these conventions closely, and believes they are less concerned with medical equity and pandemic safety, and more concerned with corporate power and control.
