在与这场前所未有的卫生紧急状态搏斗近两年之后，世界仍不断面对 COVID-19 疫情的新浪潮，而全球南方发现自己被一种新型系统性不平等所困——这种不平等正固化于显然存在严重缺陷的疫苗分配战略之中。在即将召开的世界卫生大会特别会议上，世界卫生组织及其各成员国正作出努力，以期就谈判一项关于大流行防范与应对的新的国际法律文书达成一致。
After almost two years of battling an unprecedented health emergency, the world continues to be confronted with new waves of the COVID-19 pandemic and the global South finds itself in the grip of a new form of systemic inequality enshrined in the patently flawed vaccine distribution strategy. At an upcoming Special Session of the World Health Assembly, the World Health Organization and its member states are undertaking an effort to agree on negotiating a new international legal instrument for pandemic preparedness and response.
