This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The 74th World Health Assembly (WHA)—the highest-level decision-making event on global health—opened on May 24, 2021, and a new pandemic treaty set up by the EU and its 27 member states was introduced. The aim of the treaty is to strengthen and coordinate WHO preparedness and response to health emergencies.1,2 If adopted, a WHO convention will be developed, starting in November 2021, after a special session of the WHA.3 The draft decision follows the Global Health Summit that took place on May 21, 2021, and which brought together leaders of the G20.
