  • Summary

    Global health law has been a focus of debates since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic. This chapter examines global health law in the face of Covid-19, with the focus on China. It answers the accountability question and finds that China has fulfilled its obligation of notification under the World Health Organization (WHO) International Health Regulations 2005, yet the current international health governance is facing great challenges. The chapter argues that international cooperation should be a duty under the global health law, and therefore that more effective global health governance should be in place, especially with a binding mechanism to ensure a global response strategy in case of a future public health crisis.
