[Challenges and prospects of the application of the amendments to the <i>International Health Regulations</i> (<i>2005</i>) in China].

With the increasingly complex global health and safety situation, in order to establish a strong global health and safety governance system, promote international cooperation and ensure public health and safety, the member countries of the World Health Organization initiated the revision of the <i>International Health Regulations</i> (<i>2005</i>). After the amendment of the <i>International Health Regulations</i> (<i>2005</i>) was adopted on 1 June 2024, China, as one of the contracting parties, urgently needs to promote the domestic rule of law and the foreign-related rule of law as a whole, realise the effective connection between domestic law and this regulation, and promote the transformation and application of international law. Compared with the original regulations, the Amendment has adjusted and improved relevant health measures, strengthened the construction of the public health service system, and further clarified the responsibilities and obligations of both the World Health Organization and the Parties, which has led to the application of the amendment to the <i>International Health Regulations</i> (<i>2005</i>) in China. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the domestic health law and regulation system, strengthen domestic core capacity building, deepen international cooperation and promote global governance, and strive to promote the solution of these problems.
