Ninth meeting of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB) for a WHO instrument on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response [1]
[]
Date: 2024-03-18
In December 2021, the World Health Assembly established an Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB) to draft and negotiate a convention, agreement or other international instrument under the Constitution of the World Health Organization to strengthen pandemic prevention, preparedness and response.
The ninth meeting of the INB is to be held in hybrid format from 18 to 28 March 2024. At INB8, Member States requested the INB Bureau, formed by six officers, one from each of the six WHO regions, to develop a revised draft of the negotiating text of the WHO Pandemic Agreement. This draft will be the basis of textual negotiations at INB9.
The opening and closing plenary sessions of the INB are open to WHO Member States, Associate Members, Observers and regional economic integration organizations, as well all relevant stakeholders. These sessions will be publicly webcast and archived for later viewing. Substantive negotiating sessions will be held in closed format.
