Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus made the announcement to Geneva diplomats hours ahead of a press conference.

"The Committee will make technical recommendations on the functioning of the IHR as well as regarding possible amendments," he said, according to his remarks.

Gro Harlem Brundtland, one of Tedros' predecessors at the helm of the U.N. agency, told reporters in June that the WHO should change the IHR guidelines that led it to oppose travel restrictions early in the outbreak - a step criticised later by the United States.
