- To address concerns that these global health initiatives may undermine national sovereignty.
- To present moral and utilitarian arguments for Israel's support of these international legal frameworks.
Main Methods
- Analysis of the key provisions within the IHR amendments and the Pandemic Agreement.
- Examination of potential impacts on national autonomy and public health response.
- Evaluation of moral and utilitarian justifications for international cooperation in public health.
Main Results
- The IHR amendments and Pandemic Agreement are designed to enhance global health security without infringing on national sovereignty.
- Moral arguments support Israel's commitment to global public health and universal health coverage.
- Utilitarian arguments highlight benefits for Israel in accessing information and products to combat health threats.
Conclusions
- Israel should advocate for the adoption of the Pandemic Agreement and IHR amendments.
- These international instruments are crucial for effectively addressing global public health threats.

Genome editing technologies allow scientists to modify an organism’s DNA via the addition, removal, or rearrangement of genetic material at specific genomic locations. These types of techniques could potentially be used to cure genetic disorders such as hemophilia and sickle cell anemia. One popular and widely used DNA-editing research tool that could lead to safe and effective cures for genetic disorders is the CRISPR-Cas9 system. CRISPR-Cas9 stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced...
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...
