One of the barriers to granting universal access to health technologies in emergency situations is the absence of balance between public legal guarantees of ensuring the human right to health and private legal guarantees to protect the exclusive rights of TNCs in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. The consequences of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic and the pandemic of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19 indicated the commitment of the United States and European countries to the primary satisfaction of national social and economic priorities, contrasting them with the generally accepted principles of human rights protection, has formed the category of “vaccine nationalism” in the system of international relations, which means the priority of the country - the manufacturer in obtaining the required volume of vaccines or other medicines. A clear deficit of leadership is evident in the coordination of international cooperation in the field of health care on the part of international organizations, as well as the increasing role of TNCs in the global world order. The presented trends determine one of the vectors of international law development in the coming decades is the formation of effective mechanisms for managing global health, which involves strengthening the rule-making role of the WHO, rethinking the role of non-state entities in regulating international relations, as well as the implementation of measures aimed at ensuring sustainable access to health technologies.
