Abstract

In December, 2021, all 194 Member States of WHO decided to establish the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB) to draft and negotiate a convention, agreement, or other international instrument on pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response under WHO's constitution.1 The aim of such an agreement is to enhance global preparedness for future COVID-19-like pandemics and mitigate the risk of similar catastrophic consequences.
