This post aims to provide a brief overview of the first working draft of the WHO pandemic treaty and to indicate the key issues which appeared during the negotiation process. It mainly argues that the drafters attempted to cover the vast majority of the normative gaps indicated by the COVID-19 outbreak, while striving to consider the simultaneous revision of the International Health Regulations which still retain their force as a legal instrument of global pandemic governance.

The research finds that as air travel increases at the end of 2021, epidemic peaks around the world are more synchronous with one another, both globally and regionally. This suggests that the rebound in human mobility dictates the synchrony of global and regional epidemic waves.

Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is an approach used to identify positive or negative impacts of policies, plans and proposals on health and well-being. In 2020, HIAs were undertaken in Scotland and Wales to identify the potential health and well-being impacts of the ‘stay at home’ and physical distancing measures which were put in place at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper evaluates whether these assessments were correct in their predictions.
