Thina kwa-ATB sizokwenza konke okusemandleni ethu ukubandakanya nokukhuthaza ingxoxo, ukubamba iqhaza ekuqeqesheni, nokusabalalisa ukuqwashisa emhlabeni wonke.”
IKomidi le-WHO ayincomi noma yikuphi ukuvinjelwa kokuhamba noma ukuhweba ngokusekelwe olwazini lwamanje olutholakalayo.
IKomidi le-WHO likholelwa ukuthi kusengenzeka ukuphazamisa ukusakazeka kwegciwane, inqobo nje uma amazwe ebeka izinyathelo eziqinile zokuthola izifo kusenesikhathi, ukuhlukanisa abantu ngabanye kanye nokwelapha amacala, ukulandelela abathintwayo, kanye nokukhuthaza izindlela zokuhlukanisa umphakathi ezihambisana nobungozi. Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi njengoba isimo siqhubeka nokuguquguquka, kuzoba njalo nezinjongo zamasu kanye nezinyathelo zokuvimbela nokunciphisa ukusabalala kwesifo. IKomidi livumile ukuthi lokhu kuqubuka manje kuhlangabezana nemibandela Yesimo Esiphuthumayo Sezempilo Yomphakathi Sokukhathazeka Kwamazwe Ngamazwe futhi laphakamisa izeluleko ezilandelayo ukuthi zikhishwe njengeZincomo Zesikhashana.
Kulindeleke ukuthi okunye ukuthunyelwa kwamacala kwamanye amazwe kuvele kunoma yiliphi izwe. Ngakho-ke, wonke amazwe kufanele alungele ukuvinjelwa, okuhlanganisa ukubhekwa okusebenzayo, ukutholwa kusenesikhathi, ukuhlukaniswa nokuphathwa kwamacala, ukulandelela ukuthintana nabo, kanye nokuvinjelwa kokusabalala kwe-2019-nCoVinfection, nokwabelana ngedatha egcwele ne-WHO. Izeluleko zobuchwepheshe ziyatholakala kusizindalwazi se-WHO.
Amazwe akhunjuzwa ukuthi ngokomthetho kudingeka ukuthi abelane ngolwazi ne-WHO ngaphansi kwe-IHR.
Noma yikuphi ukutholwa kwe-2019-nCoV esilwaneni (okuhlanganisa ulwazi olumayelana nezinhlobo zezilwane, izivivinyo zokuxilonga, nolwazi olufanele lwe-epidemiological) kufanele kubikwe ku-World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) njengesifo esivelayo.
Amazwe kufanele agcizelele kakhulu ekunciphiseni ukutheleleka kwabantu, ukuvimbela ukutheleleka kwesibili kanye nokusakazeka kwamazwe ngamazwe, kanye nokubamba iqhaza ekuphenduleni kwamazwe ngamazwe nakuba ukuxhumana kwemikhakha eminingi nokusebenzisana nokubamba iqhaza ngenkuthalo ekwandiseni ulwazi ngegciwane nesifo, kanye nokuthuthukisa ucwaningo.
IKomidi alincomi noma yimiphi imikhawulo yokuhamba noma yohwebo ngokusekelwe kulwazi lwamanje olutholakalayo.
Amazwe kufanele azise i-WHO nganoma yiziphi izinyathelo zokuhamba ezithathiwe, njengoba kudingwa yi-IHR. Amazwe axwayiswa ngezenzo ezikhuthaza ukucwaswa noma ukucwasa, ngokuvumelana nezimiso ze-Athikili 3 ye-IHR.
IKomidi licele uMqondisi-Jikelele ukuthi anikeze izeluleko ezengeziwe ngalezi zindaba futhi, uma kunesidingo, enze izincomo ezintsha zecala ngalinye, ngenxa yalesi simo esithuthuka ngokushesha.
Emphakathini womhlaba
Njengoba lena kuyi-coronavirus entsha, futhi kuye kwaboniswa ngaphambilini ukuthi ama-coronavirus afanayo adinga imizamo emikhulu ukuze kuvunyelwe ukwabelana ngolwazi nokucwaninga okuvamile, umphakathi womhlaba wonke kufanele uqhubeke ubonisa ubumbano nokubambisana, ngokuhambisana ne-Article 44 ye-IHR (2005), ekwesekeni omunye nomunye ekuhlonzweni komthombo waleli gciwane elisha, amandla alo aphelele okudluliselwa komuntu kumuntu, ukulungela ukuthunyelwa kwamacala angaphandle kwamanye amazwe, kanye nocwaningo lokuthuthukisa ukwelashwa okudingekayo.
Nikeza usekelo emazweni anemali engenayo ephansi naphakathi ukuze unike amandla impendulo yawo kulo mcimbi, kanye nokwenza lula ukufinyelela ekuxilongweni, emithini yokugoma engase ibe khona, kanye nokwelapha.
Ngaphansi kwe-Article 43 ye-IHR, Izizwe Ezihlangene zisebenzisa izinyathelo zezempilo ezengeziwe eziphazamisa ngokuphawulekayo ithrafikhi yamazwe ngamazwe (ukwenqaba ukungena noma ukuhamba kwabahambi bamazwe ngamazwe, imithwalo, impahla, iziqukathi, izinto ezidluliswayo, izimpahla, nokunye okunjalo, noma ukubambezeleka kwazo, ngaphezu kwalokho. amahora angama-24) baphoqelekile ukuthi bathumele ku-WHO izizathu nezizathu zezempilo yomphakathi kungakapheli amahora angama-48 zokuqaliswa kwazo. I-WHO izobuyekeza ukulungisiswa futhi ingase icele amazwe ukuthi acabangele kabusha izinyathelo zawo. I-WHO idingeka ukuthi yabelane namanye Amazwe Angamalungu ulwazi mayelana nezinyathelo kanye nezizathu ezitholiwe.
Ibhodi Lezokuvakasha lase-Afrika limema amazwe nababambiqhaza ukuthi bajoyine ingxoxo eqhubekayo njengamanje kuforamu ye-ATB WhatsApp evulekele amalungu.
Amabhodi ezokuvakasha ezweni kanye nongqongqoshe can joyina i-ATB futhi njengombukeli ngaphandle kokukhokha imali yobulungu ngonyaka wokuqala.
