Tedros Desperately Wants a Treaty
It appears that secret WHO negotiations will be continuing right up until the very last minute. What's the rush?

The pressure to reach an agreement regarding the “Pandemic Treaty” is quite intense.

The WHO Director-General has pushed delegations to conclude negotiations on a pandemic instrument by the beginning of the 77th session of the World Health Assembly (27 May to 1 June 2024).

Instead of postponing the negotiations beyond WHA77, which would give time to build a better pandemic instrument, DG Tedros said the INB has two more weeks before the WHA77 to arrive at a compromise deal.

Sources from the Secretariat confirmed with Third World Network (TWN) that DG Tedros has made the need for a pandemic treaty entrenching One Health obligations as a matter of his legacy. He is constantly pushing the INB Bureau to present a clean text to the WHA.
