The Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) presents his compliments
to Member States, Associate Members and regional economic integration organizations, and has
the honour to refer to decision SSA2(5) (2021), which established the Intergovernmental
Negotiating Body (INB) to draft and negotiate a WHO convention, agreement or other
international instrument on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response, with a view to
adoption under Article 19, or under other provisions of the WHO Constitution as may be deemed
appropriate by the INB.
The Director General has the honour to inform Member States that the resumed session of the
first meeting of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body will be held on 14 and 15 March 2022.
The meeting will be held virtually with the following working hours: 10:00 – 13:00 and
14:00 – 17:00 hours CET.
Mindful of time constraints and the current virtual working arrangements of the INB,
renewed online registration will not be required for the resumed session of the meeting for
Member States who have previously registered for the first meeting of the INB held on
24 February 2022. In that regard, WHO will view Member States’ credentials submitted during
the registration process for the first meeting as remaining valid for the purposes of registration
for the resumed session, unless informed otherwise by email to
[email protected] no
later than 09 March 2022.
The documentation for the meeting will be published at the following link:
