PERATURAN KESEHATAN INTERNASIONAL 2005: PERKEMBANGAN SUBSTANSIAL UNTUK HUKUM INTERNASIONAL DAN KEAMANAN KESEHATAN GLOBAL

This article elaborates IHR 2005 as the umbrella rule for handling infectious diseases across the world. Globalization and the existence of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases that do not recognize national boundaries become a driving factor for the establishment of global health security. The international community has long recognized the need for international collaboration to control the spread of infectious diseases across national borders. Under the World Health Organization, many countries have drafted a collective agreement to reduce the risk of expanding transmission through the International Health Regulation (IHR 2005). IHR 2005 is the result of the IHR 1969 revision. The World Health Assembly adopted the 2005 IHR as an international treaty that binds member countries. The 2005 IHR regulates the main substantive changes of the previous regime and has the principle of respecting human rights and controlling infectious diseases without having hampering travel and trade proportionally.
