Global leaders have called for a new treaty to help the world prepare for future pandemics, in a warning against rising vaccine nationalism.
More than 20 countries including France, Germany, and Fiji say that a treaty similar to the one reached in the wake of the second world war is needed to build cross-border cooperation.
As the statement puts it, the Covid-19 pandemic has been a stark and painful reminder that no one is safe until everyone safe.
World Health organisation director general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, says countries have an opportunity to strengthen the global response to future events.
