This article argues that from the lens of Global International Relations three elements impact vaccine access and affordability: human security, global governance, and International Law.

Este artículo sostiene que, desde la perspectiva de las relaciones internacionales globales, tres elementos impactan en el acceso y asequibilidad de la vacuna: la seguridad humana, la gobernanza global y el derecho internacional. En primer lugar, la emergencia sanitaria requiere repensar la seguridad considerando múltiples riesgos y amenazas centrados en el ser humano. Asimismo, la ineficacia de la gobernanza global condujo al éxito de la diplomacia de las vacunas sobre el Mecanismo Covax, así como a una larga e incierta lucha de India y Sudáfrica por una suspensión temporal de las patentes en la Organización Mundial del Comercio. Finalmente, si bien el derecho juega un papel fundamental en la construcción de resiliencia en situaciones de vulnerabilidad, el sistema internacional carece de tratados sobre pandemias o que establezcan límites a la propiedad intelectual si la inmunidad de rebaño así lo requiere.2022text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=8813781(Revista) ISSN 1657-7558OASIS: Observatorio de Análisis de los Sistemas Internacionales, ISSN 1657-7558, Nº. 36, 2022 (Ejemplar dedicado a: Julio-Diciembre), pags. 21-38engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.

COVID-19 from the lens of Global International Relations
description
Although the initiation of COVID-19 vaccination brought hope, IFM forecasts that the main fault line to global recovery is access to vaccines, an argument that reinforces the idea that COVID-19 is a syndemic and not a pandemic. This article argues that from the lens of Global International Relations three elements impact vaccine access and affordability: human security, global governance, and International Law. First, the health emergency requires rethinking security considering the multiple risks and threats centred on the human being. Second, inefficiency of global governance led to the success of vaccine diplomacy over Covax Facility, as well as India and South Africa’s long and uncertain struggle for a waiver in the World Trade Organisation. Finally, although Law plays an essential role in building resilience in situations of vulnerability, the international legal system lacks treaties that rule pandemics or establish limits to intellectual property if the immunity of herd requires it.
