“Our job is to provide evidence-based recommendations and guidelines, and to support countries to protect and improve the health of their populations,“ Tedros stated. “But how or whether countries implement that advice has always been and always will be up to them, based on their national guidelines and rules.”
However, the US administration, led by President Donald Trump, rejected the revisions last week. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy argued that the rules could undermine national decision-making.
Tedros emphasized that the amendments were developed and adopted by member states, not imposed by the WHO. “WHO has no authority to tell countries what to do. We cannot impose travel bans, lockdowns, vaccine mandates or any other type of measure. Nor do we seek to,“ he said.
Steven Solomon, WHO’s chief legal officer, confirmed that only a few countries opposed the changes before the July 19 deadline. “It’s now clear that the 2024 IHR amendments will apply to the overwhelming majority of the 196 countries that are party to the IHRs,“ he said. - AFP
