Newsletter Edition #159 [Treaty Talks]
Readers,
WHO member states are meeting this week in Geneva once again in an effort to bridge positions in the negotiations on the Pathogen Access Benefit Sharing System, an annex to the Pandemic Agreement. Here is our update.
This edition has two parts: Part I: As before, we bring you a cheat sheet on what to expect.
Part II: Perspectives of some negotiators from an event that took place last week. My colleague Anjan Wilfrid D. Rosario, brings this timely piece for you. Rosario is part of our annual fellowship program this year.
Thanks. More from us, onsite!
