The global response to the COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare weaknesses and major challenges in the international approach to managing public health emergencies. Populist sentiment is spreading globally as democratic nations are increasing their support for or electing governments that are perceived to represent “traditional” native interests. Measures need to be taken to proactively address populist sentiment when reviewing the IHR (2005) effectiveness in the COVID-19 pandemic. We discuss how populism can impact the IHR (2005) and conversely how the IHR (2005) may be able to address populist concerns if the global community commits to helping states address public health threats that emerge within their borders.

《国际卫生条例》（2005 年）、民粹主义的威胁和 COVID-19 大流行。


全球对 COVID-19 大流行的反应暴露了管理突发公共卫生事件的国际方法的弱点和重大挑战。随着民主国家越来越多地支持或选举被认为代表“传统”本土利益的政府，民粹主义情绪正在全球蔓延。在审查《国际卫生条例（2005）》在 COVID-19 大流行中的有效性时，需要采取措施积极应对民粹主义情绪。我们讨论民粹主义如何影响《国际卫生条例（2005）》，以及反过来，如果国际社会致力于帮助各国解决其境内出现的公共卫生威胁，《国际卫生条例（2005）》如何能够解决民粹主义的担忧。
