WHO: INB Bureau proposes comments on pandemic instrument text, not textual proposals

Negotiations on a pandemic instrument will resume on 12 to 16 June at the World Health Organization’s headquarters in Geneva.

However, the Bureau of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB) has proposed a work programme for the resumed session of the 5th meeting of the INB that invites relevant ideas and concepts on a text prepared by the Bureau, instead of textual proposals from Member States.

This proposal is contained in a mail circulated by the Bureau to Member States stating certain practical aspects relating to the conduct of the session and drafting group meeting of the INB.
