There was “a very significant watering down of language in this draft compared to previous drafts”, says SuerieMoon about the latest pandemic treaty draft.
The zero draft called on member states to support temporary waivers on intellectual-property rights during pandemics to accelerate manufacturing of products such as vaccines. It also stated that, when publicly funding research that aims to develop pandemic-related products, member states should include terms and conditions that facilitate access to those products should an epidemic occur.
For epidemiologist Salim Abdool Karim, the director of the Centre for the AIDS Programme of Research in South Africa, based in Durban, it is essential that the treaty include language to waive intellectual-property rights during a pandemic. The lack of such a mechanism, he says, is one of the key reasons why the three most important medical countermeasures against COVID-19 — vaccines, diagnostics and treatment — are still not available to some countries.
