Tamoios/RJ, 20th of February, 2023
Abstract:
This document aims at analyzing how the ongoing negotiation within the World Health Organization (WHO) intends to establish WHO, through the International Health Regulations (IHR/2005) reform and the new pandemic accords, as a tool of high level entities within the United Nations system - as the UN Security Council and the Office of the UN Secretary-General - of implementation of Articles VII and X of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BWC), among other strategic geopolitical security provisions. The high level UN documents “Report of the High-level Panel on the Global Response to Health Crises” (2016), UN Security Council Resolution 2177/2014 on the 2014 Ebola crisis in West Africa and “Draft Final Document of the Ninth Review Conference” (BWC/CONF.IX/CRP.2/Rev.1) were milestones of the proposed analysis, confronted with the WHO document EB 152/12 “Report by the Director-General: Strengthening the global architecture for health emergency preparedness, response and resilience”.
