Abstract

There have been many analyses of the COVID-19 pandemic but little discussion of the governance failures, especially the need for cross-government, multisectoral engagement, and leadership by heads of state and governments at both national and global levels. Governance is already being discussed within the health context. WHO member states are engaged in two historic negotiations of international treaties: a new pandemic convention, agreement, or other instrument (WHO CA+)1 and the revision of the International Health Regulations.2 The WHO CA+ would establish a Conference of the Parties (CoP) comprising heads of government to oversee the treaty's implementation. As the treaty is likely to be adopted under Article 19 of the WHO constitution, only states that have ratified the treaty would be members of the CoP. The International Health Regulations revision under Article 21 is expected to have near universal membership.
