Geneva between hope and disillusionment in the fight against COVID-19

Weekly overview of developments in multilateral Geneva on COVID-19 (17.4.-29.4.)

In the past two weeks, there were several encour- aging multilateral efforts to fight the pandemic. A global initiative, led by the World Health Organiza- tion (WHO) to accelerate the development, produc- tion and equitable distribution of vaccines, diagnos- tics and therapeutics deserves particular attention. However, there were also various sobering exam- ples for the limited readiness to cooperate and respect agreed-upon global norms.

The WHO Under Pressure (17th April)

Weekly review of events in multilateral Geneva on COVID-19 (April 3 to 16)

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to hold the world in its grip – the global number of cases doubled in two weeks while the number of deaths almost tripled, even though the growth numbers in some of the hardest-hit countries in Europe like Spain or Italy have slowed down. Meanwhile, the global discourse on the management of the pandemic has become more confrontational, with criticism being particularly directed towards the WHO.

Stresstest für die Schweiz durch COVID-19

Die Eidgenossenschaft in der COVID-19-Krise

Nimmt man die Fallzahlen pro Kopf zum Maßstab, ist die Schweiz eines der weltweit am stärksten von der COVID-19-Krise betroffenen Länder. Mitte März beschloss der Bundesrat weitreichende Maßnahmen, die im Großen und Ganzen denen vieler EU-Länder ähneln. Diese galten zunächst bis zum 19. April, wurden nun aber bis zum 26. April verlängert.  Selbst für die Schweiz ist die Krise ein Stresstest. Positiv zu vermerken ist die enge Zusammenarbeit mit der EU.
