This comprehensive book delves into the effectiveness of global health law in combating modern global pandemics like COVID-19. It assesses why the legal framework based on the International Health Regulations (IHR) failed to effectively address these crises. The book offers a foundational understanding of the international legal framework surrounding epidemics and pandemics, as well as the major governance challenges posed by the COVID-19 outbreak. It highlights the key shortcomings of global health law while proposing practical solutions to enhance the World Health Organization's (WHO) mechanism for preventing and responding to future disease outbreaks, such as the New Pandemic Treaty.
The book emphasizes the areas where international, regional, and national responses to COVID-19 have fallen short. It argues that the pandemic has exposed the weaknesses of both global and domestic health law. By identifying legal gaps and providing compelling legal arguments, the book contributes to the historical and conceptual foundation of international law in the new age of COVID-19. Its ultimate goal is to stimulate legal reform in this critical and evolving era.
This book is a must-read for academics, researchers, and policy-makers engaged in International Law, Health Law, Environmental Law, Human Rights Law, Biolaw, and the Law of International Organizations. It provides valuable insights and perspectives that will aid in understanding and addressing the legal challenges posed by pandemics and other global health emergencies.
