<h1>Pandemic treaty sample-sharing guarantees ensure equitable access; WHO to reserve supplies and provide arbitration for disputes.</h1> A draft pandemic treaty creates a framework requiring that countries sharing critical virus samples be guaranteed access to resulting tests, medicines, and vaccines, and authorises the WHO to hold up to 20 percent of such products to ensure supply for poorer countries. The draft recognises existing obligations under the International Health Regulations, provides a dispute process moving from diplomatic channels to arbitration, and makes compliance dependent on state ratification and voluntary implementation, with limited enforcement mechanisms.
