FUNDA FUTHI USAYINE INCWADI EVULIWE
KUPHUTHUMA FUTHI KUBALULEKILE KUWE!
FUNDA KUNGANI:

Ekupheleni kukaMeyi walo nyaka, kuhlelwe ukuthi Amazwe Angamalungu eNhlangano Yezempilo Yomhlaba (i-WHO) ayi-194 avotele ekwamukelweni kwemibhalo emibili okuhloswe ngayo ukuguqula impilo yomphakathi emhlabeni jikelele kanye nendlela Amazwe asebenzisana ngayo lapho uMqondisi Jikelele. ye-WHO imemezela isimo esiphuthumayo. Le mibhalo engakapheli, Isivumelwano Sobhubhane kanye nezichibiyelo zeMithethonqubo Yezempilo Yamazwe Ngamazwe (IHR), kuhloswe ngayo ukuthi ibophe ngokomthetho futhi ilawule ubudlelwano phakathi kwamazwe kanye ne-WHO.

Nakuba ziqukethe okubalulekile kwezempilo, ezomnotho kanye namalungelo abantu, zisaxoxisana namakomiti ahlukene kungakapheli izinyanga ezimbili ngaphambi kokuvota okuhlosiwe. Athuthukiswe ngokuxhamazela okungajwayelekile, ngesisekelo sokuthi kunokuphuthuma okwandayo okunciphisa ubungozi bobhubhane.

Nakuba lokhu kuphuthuma manje sekuboniswe ukuthi kungqubuzana nedatha kanye nezingcaphuno lapho i-WHO nezinye izinhlangano ezithembele kuzo, ukuphuthuma kuyaqhubeka. Ngenxa yalokho, izinkambiso ezidinga izikhathi zokubuyekeza ezithile ziye zabekelwa eceleni, zibukela phansi ngokungenakugwenywa ukulingana phakathi kwezivumelwano ngokuvimbela imibuso enezinsiza ezincane ekubeni nesikhathi sokuhlola ngokugcwele imithelela yabantu bazo ngaphambi kokuvota.

Lena indlela embi kakhulu futhi eyingozi yokwenza isivumelwano noma isivumelwano samazwe ngamazwe esibopha ngokusemthethweni. Manje yisikhathi sokuncishiswa ngenhloso yokuklama iphakethe lobhadane lomthetho elihambisanayo esikhundleni sokusungula ngokushesha isethi edidayo yemithetho ehlukene yezomthetho, iziphathimandla eziphethe kanye nokwanda kwabalingisi bomhlaba abaqhudelanayo, njengoba kungalulekwanga kahle encwadini yomphakathi yakamuva.

I-Open Letter engezansi icela i-WHO kanye Namazwe Angamalungu ukuthi elule umnqamulajuqu wokwamukelwa kwezichibiyelo zeMithethonqubo Yezempilo Yamazwe Ngamazwe kanye neSivumelwano esisha Sobhubhane ku-WHA yama-77 ukuze kuvikelwe umthetho kanye nokulingana.

Dear SpeakOut! user

OPEN LETTER
 
<p>to the World Health Organization and all negotiating Member States,
the Working Group on Amendments to the International Health
Regulations and the International Negotiating Body</p>

April 2024

Dear Dr. Tedros, Director-General of the World Health Organization
Dear Co-Chairs Dr. Asiri and Dr. Bloomfield of the WGIHR,
Dear Co-Chairs Dr. Matsoso and Mr. Driece of the INB,
Dear national delegates of the respective working groups,

Both the Working Group on Amendments to the International Health Regulations (2005) (WGIHR) and the International Negotiating Body (INB) negotiating the Pandemic Agreement were mandated to deliver the definite legal wording of the targeted amendments of the International Health Regulations (IHR) as well as of the Pandemic Agreement to the 77th World Health Assembly (WHA), taking place at the end of May 2024. These processes havebeen ushered through in haste to “capture a post-COVID-19 moment”, despite evidence that there is limited risk of another pandemic occurring in the short-to-medium term. In other words, there is time to get these measures right.

Yet, due to the speed in which these processes have occurred both negotiation processes are threatening to deliver illegitimate policies by violating the very objectives and principles of equity and deliberation which are proclaimed to be safeguarded through the pandemic law-making process under the auspices of WHO. Consequently, the politically set deadline for adoption at the 77th WHA must be lifted and extended to safeguard the lawfulness and transparency of the processes, clarifying the relationship between the amended IHR and the new Pandemic Agreement, and ensuring an equitable and democratic outcome.

The WGIHR’s non-compliance with the IHR excludes a lawful adoption at the 77th WHA

The adoption of any amendments of the IHR at the 77th WHA can no longer be achieved in alawful manner. Currently, the WGIHR keeps negotiating the draft amendments, with the aim to finalise the package of proposed amendments during its 8th meeting scheduled for the 22nd

– 26th April that is then to be presented to the 77th WHA. This modus operandi is unlawful. It violates Article 55(2) IHR which sets out the procedure to be followed for amending the IHR:

‘The text of any proposed amendment shall be communicated to all States Parties by the Director-General at least four months before the Health Assembly at which it is proposed for consideration.’

The deadline for the Director-General to circulate the package of proposed amendments to the IHR to States Parties lawfully in advance of the 77th WHA has passed on the 27th January 2024.

As of yet, the Director-General has not communicated any amendments to the States. The IHR is a multilateral treatyi binding both States that ratified the IHR and the WHO, including subdivisions ii of the WHA like the WGIHR. They must abide by the binding procedural rules of Article 55(2) IHR and cannot suspend these rules arbitrarily.

During the public webcast of 2nd October 2023,iii the issue was referred to WHO’s Principal Legal Officer, Dr Steven Solomon, who explained that since the draft amendments come from a subdivision of the WHA, the 4-month requirement of Article 55(2) did not apply. However, his opinion disregards the fact that Article 55(2) does not make any distinction as to which State, group of States or specific part of the WHA propose the amendments. Moreover, in the Terms of Reference of the IHR Review Committee (2022)iv the timeline of the WGIHR’s work was set at ‘January 2024: WGIHR submits their final package of proposed amendments to the Director-General who will communicate them to all States Parties in accordance with Article 55(2) for the consideration of the Seventy-seventh World Health Assembly.’ If the WGIHR and WHO purposefully violate the IHR, the rule of law is indeed undermined, potentially entailing international responsibility for the organisation and/or individuals in charge.

Inseparable processes of IHR and new Pandemic Treaty

The available drafts of the WGIHR and INB imply that the two processes of the WGIHR and INB cannot stand independently but are inseparable from each other. Particularly, the new draft Pandemic Agreement cannot be adopted prior to revising the IHR because it needs to build upon the revised structure, material scope and institutions of the IHR (especially given wording of IHR core capacities currently in the March 7th, 2024 negotiating text of the Pandemic Agreement). Disrupting challenges like the significant overlap ratione materiae, the competences and relationships between the newly established treaty bodies, and vs Member States, as well as the long-term financial implications for the health budget, etc. – require detailed clarification prior to adoption.

Equity and democratic legitimacy

Disregarding procedural obligations under the IHR and leaving the relationship between the amended IHR and new Pandemic Agreement nebulous not only undermines the international rule of law, it also undercuts the spirit of Article 55(2) of the IHR (2005), which guarantees Member States four months lead-time to review IHR amendments to promote democratic legitimacy, procedural justice, and to better ensure equitable outcomes.

States need at least four months to thoroughly reflect on the implications of proposed amendments for their domestic constitutional legal orders and their financial capacities. They must seek political and/or parliamentary approval prior to the adoption of the respective resolutions at the WHA. This is especially germane given the unique legal status of adopted IHR amendments that will enter into force automatically unless a State Party actively opts out within a very short timeframe of 10 months.

Equity is stated by WHO to be at the heart of the pandemic preparedness and response agenda. Many low- and middle-income countries do not have representatives and experts present in Geneva during the entire parallel negotiation processes, have their representatives’ discussing matters in less familiar languages, and/or must rely on diplomatic group/regional representations. This introduces inequity to the ability to fully participate in the negotiation process within the WGIHR and the INB developing the Pandemic Agreement. Richer countries have more ability to input into drafts and greater resources to review their implications. These manifestly unfair negotiation processes are contrary to the spirit and stated intent of the entire process. Ensuring equity, transparency and fairness requires an adequate time to discuss and consider what are intended to be legally-binding agreements.

Markedly exaggerated urgency claim

Whilst some have argued that urgency in developing new pandemic management instruments is justified by a rising risk and burden of such infectious disease outbreaks, this has recently been demonstrated to be a markedly exaggerated claim.vi The evidence bases on which the WHO have relied, and partner agencies including the World Bank and G20, demonstrate that the risk of naturally-derived outbreaks is not currently increasing, and overall burden is probably declining. This suggests that current mechanisms are indeed working relatively effectively, and changes must be viewed carefully, without undue urgency, in the light of the heterogeneity of threat and competing public health priorities across WHO Member States.

Appeal not to adopt the IHR amendments or Pandemic Agreement at the 77th WHA

The two working groups are requested to follow the UN Principles and guidelines for international negotiations, UN A/RES/53/101,vii and to conduct negotiations in a spirit of good faith and ‘endeavour to maintain a constructive atmosphere during negotiations and to refrain from any conduct which might undermine the negotiations and their progress.’ A rational timeline without political pressure for results will safeguard the current law-making process from collapsing and prevent potential political abandonment, as experienced in case of the WHO Research and Development (R&D) Treaty.

One of the original reasons to initiate the amendment process of the IHR (2005) was the WHO’s express concern that States did not comply with their obligations under the IHR during the Covid-19 Public Health Emergency of International Concern. With their failure to keep to the 4-months review period, the WHO and the WGIHR themselves show their open disregard for their legally binding duties under the IHR. A resolution with proposed amendments to the IHR for adoption at the 77th WHA can no longer be presented lawfully. Consequently, the Pandemic Agreement also needs to be delayed, as both processes are interdependent.

This is an urgent appeal to the WHO and its Member States to safeguard the rule of law and procedural and outcome equity by allowing fair input and deliberation. To do so, it will require lifting and extending the deadline, thus rendering the possibility for a more future-proof legal architecture for pandemic prevention, preparedness and response in-line with international law and its normative commitments.

Respectfully yours.

INCWADI EVULIWE

kwiNhlangano Yezempilo Yomhlaba kanye nakuwo wonke Amazwe Angamalungu axoxisanayo,
iQembu Elisebenzayo Lokuchibiyela Imithetho Yezempilo Yamazwe Ngamazwe
kanye ne-International Negotiating Body

Ephreli 2024

Dkt. Tedros othandekayo, uMqondisi-Jikelele weNhlangano Yezempilo Yomhlaba
Bosihlalo Abambisene nabo abathandekayo uDkt. Asiri kanye noDkt. Bloomfield we-WGIHR,
Bosihlalo Abambisene nabo uDkt. Matsoso kanye noMnu. Driece we-INB,
Izithunywa zikazwelonke ezithandekayo zamaqembu asebenzayo ahlukene,

Kokubili iQembu Elisebenzayo Lokuchibiyela Imithetho Yezempilo Yamazwe Ngamazwe (2005) (WGIHR) kanye Nenhlangano Yezingxoxo Zamazwe Ngamazwe (INB) exoxisana ngeSivumelwano Sobhubhane bagunyazwe ukuthi balethe amagama asemthethweni okuchitshiyelwa okuhlosiwe kweMithethonqubo Yezempilo Yamazwe Ngamazwe (IHR) njengoba kanye neSivumelwano Sobhubhane soMhlangano Wezempilo Womhlaba wama-77 (i-WHA), oqhubeka ekupheleni kukaMeyi 2024. Lezi zinqubo zenziwe ngokuphuthuma “ukuthwebula isikhathi sangemva kwe-COVID-19”, naphezu kobufakazi bokuthi kunengozi elinganiselwe yolunye ubhadane olungenzeka esikhathini esifushane kuya kwesimaphakathi. Ngamanye amazwi, kunesikhathi sokwenza lezi zinyathelo ngendlela efanele.

Kodwa-ke, ngenxa yejubane okwenzeka ngalo lezi zinqubo zombili izinqubo zokuxoxisana zisongela ukuletha izinqubomgomo ezingekho emthethweni ngokwephula zona kanye izinjongo nemigomo yokulingana nokuxoxisana okuthiwa ivikelekile ngenqubo yokwenza umthetho owubhubhane ngaphansi kwe-WHO. . Ngenxa yalokho, umnqamulajuqu obekwe ngokwepolitiki wokwamukelwa ku-WHA yama-77 kufanele ususwe futhi unwetshwe ukuze kuvikelwe ukuba semthethweni nokuba sobala kwezinqubo, kucaciswe ubudlelwano phakathi kwe-IHR echitshiyelwe kanye neSivumelwano esisha Sobhubhane, kanye nokuqinisekisa umphumela olinganayo nowentando yeningi.

Ukungalandeli kwe-WGIHR ne-IHR akufaki ukutholwa okusemthethweni ku-77th WHA.

Ukwamukelwa kwanoma yiziphi izichibiyelo ze-IHR ku-WHA yama-77 ngeke kusazuzwa ngendlela esemthethweni. Njengamanje, i-WGIHR isaqhubeka nokuxoxisana ngohlaka lokuchitshiyelwa, ngenhloso yokuphothula iqoqo lezichibiyelo ezihlongozwayo phakathi nomhlangano wayo wesi-8 ohlelelwe umhla zingama-22 kuya zingama-26 kuMbasa ozobe wethulwa ku-WHA yama-77. Le modus operandi ayikho emthethweni. Iphula i-Article 55(2) IHR ebeka inqubo okufanele ilandelwe yokuchibiyela i-IHR:

‘Umbhalo wanoma isiphi isichibiyelo esihlongozwayo uyokwaziswa kuwo wonke Amazwe Ahlangene nguMqondisi-Jikelele okungenani izinyanga ezine ngaphambi koMhlangano Wezempilo lapho kuhlongozwa khona ukuba kucutshungulwe.’

Umnqamulajuqu wokuthi uMqondisi-Jikelele asabalalise iphakethe lezichibiyelo ezihlongozwayo ku-IHR kumaZwe Amaqembu ngokusemthethweni ngaphambi kwe-WHA yama-77 usudlulile zingama-27 kuMasingana wezi-2024.

Kuze kube manje, uMqondisi-Jikelele akakakhulumi ngezichibiyelo emiBusweni. I-IHR iyisivumelwano sezizwe eziningi esibopha zombili iMibuso eyamukele i-IHR kanye ne-WHO, okuhlanganisa izigatshana (1) ze-WHA njenge-WGIHR. Kumelwe bathobele imithetho yenqubo ebophayo ye-Article 55(2) IHR futhi abakwazi ukumisa le mithetho ngokungafanele.

Ngesikhathi sokusakazwa kwewebhu komphakathi kwangomhla zi-2 kuMfumfu wezi-2023, lolu daba lwadluliselwa kuSikhulu Sezomthetho se-WHO, uDkt Steven Solomon, owachaza ukuthi njengoba izichibiyelo ezisalungiswa zivela ekuhlukaniseni iziqephu ze-WHA, imfuneko yezinyanga ezi-4 ye-Article 55(2) yenzekile. ayisebenzi. Kodwa-ke, umbono wakhe awukushayi mkhuba iqiniso lokuthi iSigaba 55(2) akwenzi mehluko ngokuthi yisiphi iSifundazwe, iqembu leMibuso noma ingxenye ethile ye-WHA ephakamisa lezi zichibiyelo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ku- Terms of Reference (iphara.6) leKomidi Lokubuyekeza le-IHR (2022) umugqa wesikhathi womsebenzi we-WGIHR wamiswa ngo-‘Januwari 2024: I-WGIHR ithumela iphakheji yayo yokugcina yezichibiyelo ezihlongozwayo kuMqondisi-Jikelele ozozidlulisela kuwo wonke amaZwe Amaqembu ngokuhambisana Isigaba 55(2) sokucutshungulwa koMhlangano Wezempilo Womhlaba Wamashumi Ayisikhombisa Nesikhombisa.’ Uma i-WGIHR kanye ne-WHO bephula i-IHR ngenhloso, umthetho ubukelwa phansi, okungenzeka uhlanganise umthwalo wamazwe ngamazwe wenhlangano kanye/noma abantu abaphethe.

Izinqubo ezingenakuhlukaniswa ze-IHR kanye neSivumelwano esisha Sobhubhane

Okusalungiswa okutholakalayo kwe-WGIHR kanye ne-INB kusikisela ukuthi izinqubo ezimbili ze-WGIHR kanye ne-INB azikwazi ukuzimela ngokuzimela kodwa azihlukaniseki enye kwenye. Ikakhulukazi, uhlaka olusha Lwesivumelwano Sobhubhane alukwazi ukwamukelwa ngaphambi kokubuyekezwa kwe-IHR ngoba ludinga ukwakha phezu kwesakhiwo esibuyekeziwe, ububanzi bezinto ezibonakalayo kanye nezikhungo ze-IHR (ikakhulukazi amagama anikezwe amandla ayinhloko e-IHR okwamanje ngoMashi 7, 2024 umbhalo wezingxoxo we-IHR. Isivumelwano Sobhubhane). Ukuphazamisa izinselele ezifana ne-overlap ratione materiae ebalulekile, amandla nobudlelwano phakathi kwezinhlangano zesivumelwano ezisanda kusungulwa, kanye namazwe angamalungu, kanye nemithelela yezimali yesikhathi eside yesabelomali sezempilo, njll. – zidinga ukucaciswa okuningiliziwe ngaphambi kokutholwa.

Ukulingana nokuba semthethweni kwentando yeningi

Ukungazinaki izibopho zenqubo ngaphansi kwe-IHR nokushiya ubudlelwano phakathi kwe-IHR echitshiyelwe kanye neSivumelwano esisha Sobhubhane akugcini nje ngokubukela phansi umthetho wamazwe ngamazwe, futhi kwehlisa umoya we-Article 55(2) ye-IHR (2005), eqinisekisa Amazwe Angamalungu. izinyanga ezine ezisele ngaphambi kokubuyekeza izichibiyelo ze-IHR ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukuba semthethweni kwentando yeningi, ubulungiswa benqubo, kanye nokuqinisekisa kangcono imiphumela elinganayo.

Amazwe adinga okungenani izinyanga ezine ukuze acabange kahle ngemithelela yezichibiyelo ezihlongozwayo zemithetho yawo yezomthetho yasekhaya kanye namandla azo ezezimali. Kufanele bafune imvume yezepolitiki kanye/noma yephalamende ngaphambi kokwamukelwa kwezinqumo ezifanele ku-WHA. Lokhu kuyiqiniso ikakhulukazi uma kubhekwa isimo somthetho esiyingqayizivele sezichibiyelo ze-IHR ezamukelwayo ezizoqala ukusebenza ngokuzenzakalelayo ngaphandle uma Inhlangano Yesifunda iphuma ngamandla phakathi nesikhathi esifushane kakhulu esiyizinyanga eziyi-10 (2).

Ukulingana kushiwo yi-WHO ukuthi kube senhliziyweni yokulungela ubhubhane kanye ne-ajenda yokusabela. Amazwe amaningi anemali engenayo ephansi noma ephakathi ayinabo abameleli kanye nochwepheshe abakhona e-Geneva phakathi nazo zonke izinqubo zezingxoxo ezifanayo, abameleli bawo baxoxa ngezindaba ngezilimi ezingajwayelekile, futhi/noma kufanele bathembele emaqenjini okusebenzelana nezikhulu/izifunda. Lokhu kwethula ukungalingani ekhonweni lokubamba iqhaza ngokugcwele kunqubo yezingxoxo ngaphakathi kwe-WGIHR kanye ne-INB ethuthukisa Isivumelwano Sobhubhane. Amazwe anothile anekhono elengeziwe lokufaka kokusalungiswa nezisetshenziswa ezinkulu ukuze abuyekeze imithelela yawo. Lezi zinqubo zezingxoxo ezibonakala zingalungile ziphambene nomoya kanye nenjongo eshiwo yayo yonke inqubo. Ukuqinisekisa ukulingana, ukungafihli kanye nokungenzeleli kudinga isikhathi esanele sokuxoxa futhi kubhekwe ukuthi yini okuhloswe ngayo ukuba kube izivumelwano ezibophezela ngokomthetho.

Isimangalo sokuphuthuma esenziwe ihaba ngokuphawulekayo

Nakuba abanye bephikisene ngokuthi ukuphuthuma ekuthuthukiseni amathuluzi amasha okulawula ubhubhane kufaneleka ngenxa yengozi ekhulayo kanye nomthwalo wokuqubuka kwezifo ezithathelwanayo, lokhu muva nje kuboniswe njengesimangalo esiyihaba ngokuphawulekayo . Izisekelo zobufakazi i-WHO ethembele kuzo, kanye nama-ejensi abambisene nawo ahlanganisa iBhange Lomhlaba kanye ne-G20, abonisa ukuthi ingozi yokuqubuka kwezifo ezibangelwa ngokwemvelo ayikhuli njengamanje, futhi umthwalo uwonke cishe uyehla. Lokhu kusikisela ukuthi izindlela zamanje zisebenza ngempumelelo uma kuqhathaniswa, futhi izinguquko kufanele zibhekwe ngokucophelela, ngaphandle kokuphuthuma okungadingekile, kucatshangelwa ukuhlukahluka kosongo kanye nezinto ezibalulekile zempilo yomphakathi eziqhudelanayo kuwo wonke Amazwe Angamalungu e-WHO.

Faka isikhalazo sokuthi singamukeli izichibiyelo ze-IHR noma Isivumelwano Sobhubhane ku-77th WHA

Amaqembu amabili asebenzayo ayacelwa ukuthi alandele Izimiso ze-UN neziqondiso zezingxoxo zamazwe ngamazwe, UN A/RES/53/101, nokuphatha izingxoxo ngomoya wokholo futhi ‘sizame ukugcina isimo esakhayo phakathi nezingxoxo futhi sigweme noma yikuphi ukuziphatha okungase kucekele phansi izingxoxo nenqubekelaphambili yazo.’ Umugqa wesikhathi onengqondo ngaphandle kwengcindezi yezepolitiki ngemiphumela uzovikela inqubo yamanje yokwenza umthetho ekuweni futhi kuvimbele ukulahlwa kwezepolitiki okungaba khona, njengoba kwenzeka esimweni seSivumelwano Socwaningo Nentuthuko ye-WHO (R&D).

Esinye sezizathu zasekuqaleni zokuqalisa inqubo yokuchitshiyelwa kwe-IHR (2005) kwakuwukukhathazeka okukhulu kwe-WHO ngokuthi amazwe awazange ahambisane nezibopho zawo ngaphansi kwe-IHR ngesikhathi se-Covid-19 Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Ngokwehluleka kwabo ukugcina isikhathi sokubuyekeza esiyizinyanga ezi-4, i-WHO kanye ne-WGIHR ngokwabo bakhombisa ukungayinaki kwabo okusobala imisebenzi yabo ebopha ngokomthetho ngaphansi kwe-IHR. Isinqumo esinezichibiyelo ezihlongozwayo ku-IHR ukuze samukelwe ku-WHA yama-77 ngeke sisakwethulwa ngokusemthethweni. Ngenxa yalokho, Isivumelwano Sobhubhane naso sidinga ukubambezeleka, njengoba zombili izinqubo zincike komunye.

Lesi isicelo esiphuthumayo esiya ku-WHO kanye Namazwe Angamalungu ayo ukuthi avikele umthetho kanye nezinqubo kanye nokulingana kwemiphumela ngokuvumela imibono nokuxoxisana ngendlela efanele. Ukwenza lokho, kuzodinga ukuphakamisa nokwelula umnqamulajuqu, ngaleyo ndlela kunikeze ithuba lokwakhiwa kwezomthetho okunobufakazi besikhathi esizayo sokuvimbela ubhubhane, ukulungela kanye nokusabela okuhambisana nomthetho wamazwe omhlaba kanye nokuzibophezela kwawo okujwayelekile.

Ngenhlonipho eyakho.

1 Ngokuhambisana noMthetho wama-41 weMithetho yeNqubo yesiGungu sezeMpilo.
2 Ngokuhambisana noBuciko. 59, 61 kanye ne-62 IHR kanye ne-Art. 22 woMthethosisekelo we-WHO .
