Abstract

The International Health Regulations2005 (IHR2005) plays a significant role in the governance of global public health security. Nevertheless, when addressing the global public health crisis triggered by the 2020 novel corona virus epidemic, the IHR2005 shows some shortcomings. For example, the treaty cannot effectively coordinate the timely implementation of health measures such as epidemic prevention surveillance, situation assessment, technical cooperation and financial support. Using the case analysis, the literature search and other research methods, the paper analyzes the dilemmas of IHR2005, such as the ambiguity of the text itself, the limitation of the scope of application, and the failure to completely abandon the national centralism. To solve these problems, this paper put forward three solutions: The first is to reconstruct the text, and to name only a few controversial places that can be directly converted into text. The second is to reconstruct the mechanism, like establishing a more mighty system on the basis of the original mechanism. The third is to reconstruct the institution, which should strengthen technical cooperation with non-state actors while adjusting regulations that are not adapted to the development of The Times, and consolidate the leadership position of the World Health Organization (WHO).
