Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison told SkyNews on April 23 that he wants to grant new powers to the World Health Organisation (WHO) to enable it to more quickly alert the world to future outbreaks that have the potential to become pandemics.
During an interview on Paul Murray Live, the prime minister said the powers that he’s suggesting would be similar to those of United Nations (UN) weapons inspectors. The powers would grant the WHO the authority to investigate threats to global health without restrictions.
