"Low" rating of importance for the International Health Regulations

The classification of the International Health Regulations (IHR) as "low importance" for international relations seems questionable. While the IHR is primarily a public health instrument, it has significant international relations implications for several reasons:

Global Cooperation & Sovereignty – The IHR requires countries to report public health emergencies of international concern (PHEIC), which involves diplomatic negotiations and balancing national sovereignty with global health security.
Economic & Travel Impact – The regulations influence international trade, travel restrictions, and quarantine measures, which directly affect international relations and economic diplomacy.
Pandemic Response & Geopolitical Tensions – During COVID-19, disputes arose over transparency, data sharing, and vaccine distribution, highlighting how the IHR interacts with international politics.
WHO’s Role & State Compliance – The IHR gives the WHO authority to coordinate global responses, but state compliance varies, leading to political tensions, especially between major powers.

Considering these factors, "mid" or even "high" importance might be more appropriate, depending on how broadly one defines international relations. What do you think—should health governance be more central in IR discussions? Shayer (talk) 15:04, 28 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
