Ms Rittner said the idea of the agreement emerged during the start of the pandemic in 2020 when it was proposed to complement existing International Health Regulations for adoption by WHO member states to strengthen pandemic prevention and response. She said its focus is to strengthen global emergency capacities and health response in the case of a pandemic, for proper intervention and prevention strategies to stop the pandemic.

Ms Rittner said there were rumours that the treaty would give WHO the power to impose mandatory vaccination and lockdown. In January, the Director General of WHO, Tedro Ghebreyesus, raised concerns that lies and entrenched positions undermine the pandemic negotiations. The instrument currently being negotiated by WHO countries, also called ‘the accord’, aims to improve prevention, preparedness, and response to future pandemics at a global level.

The organisation said: “We cooperate with governmental institutions, political parties, civil society organisations, and handpicked elites, building strong partnerships along the way.
