It offers a range of insights into the law and practice of the WHO, discussing opportunities for further development including the revision of the International Health Regulations and the recent negotiation of the Pandemic Agreement. Drawing on a variety of different legal fields, including biodiversity law, human rights law, and international institutional law, the Companion analyses the ever-growing number of outside influences on the structure and purpose of the organisation.
