世界衛生組織在大流行病防範協議上取得進展
WHO Makes Progress on Pandemic Preparedness Agreement

截至2026年9月，世界衛生組織（WHO）及其成員國正邁向一個重要的里程碑。
As of September 2026, the World Health Organization (WHO) and its Member States are reaching a significant milestone.
他們正處於落實《WHO大流行病協定》(W-H-O ㄉㄚˋ ㄌㄧㄡˊ ㄌㄧㄡˊ ㄅㄧㄥˋ ㄒㄧㄝˊ ㄉㄧㄥˋ)的最後階段，這是一項於2025年5月通過、具有歷史意義且具法律約束力的文書。
They are in the final stages of operationalizing the WHO Pandemic Agreement, a historic, legally binding instrument adopted in May 2025.
該協定旨在預防未來的全球健康危機，重點在於更好的準備工作與更協調的應對措施。
Designed to prevent future global health crises, the agreement focuses on better preparedness and a more coordinated response.
拼圖中關鍵的一塊是目前正待定案的「病原體獲取與惠益分享」（PABS）附件。
A crucial piece of the puzzle is the Pathogen Access and Benefit-Sharing (PABS) Annex, which is currently being finalized.
該系統旨在確保各國在共享病原體數據時，能公平且及時地獲得疫苗和診斷工具等醫療對策作為回報。
This system aims to ensure that when countries share pathogen data, they receive fair and timely access to medical countermeasures like vaccines and diagnostics in return.
雖然談判涉及關於技術和知識產權的複雜辯論，但其目標是全球公平。
While negotiations involve complex debates over technology and intellectual property, the goal is global equity.
重要的是，該協定充分尊重國家主權；它並未授予WHO對個別國家實施封鎖或強制命令的權力。
Importantly, the agreement fully respects national sovereignty; it does not grant the WHO authority to impose lockdowns or mandates on individual countries.
隨著全球領導人為即將召開的聯合國高級別會議做準備，完成此附件仍是最後的障礙。
As global leaders prepare for the upcoming UN High-Level Meeting, finishing this annex remains the final hurdle.
一旦經由60個國家批准，該協定將正式生效，將COVID-19大流行病中所學到的教訓轉化為功能性的全球安全架構。
Once ratified by 60 nations, the agreement will officially enter into force, transforming lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic into a functional, global framework for security.
