Noch(!) zeigen manche afrikanische Nationen Rückgrat:
Kurz: 12 der (insgesamt 15) Zusätze zu den Internationalen Gesundheitsregulierungen wurden abgelehnt. Unter anderem sollte dem WHO-Generalsekretär die Möglichkeit eingeräumt werden, einen Gesundheits-Notstand auszurufen.lc.org hat geschrieben:Apparently, there was not the consensus vote of delegates from 194 nations to pass the amendments that would empower the WHO to declare a “public health emergency.” Some African nations, Iran, Malaysia, and Brazil objected to the amendments but for different reasons. The amendments represent one of several tracks simultaneously ongoing to give the WHO more authority.

On January 18, 2022, officials from the Biden administration quietly sent the WHO extensive amendments to the current International Health Regulations without an official statement or a single press conference. The proposed amendments, in combination with the existing ones, enables Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and any future Director-General to have unrestricted powers to define and then implement their interventions and to declare “health emergencies” at will.
Ob die afrikanischen Nationen allerdings wegen rechtlicher Bedenken abgelehnt haben, wage ich zu bezweifeln.
