Abstract
The International Health Regulations (IHR) 2005, serve as an overarching role in global health security (GHS); they are designed to prevent, detect, and respond to international threats. In the wake of past international health crises, (i.e., H1N1 influenza [2009], Ebola [2013], MERS-CoV [2014], Zika [2016], and SARS-CoV-2 [2019]) the IHR (2005) strives to compel a robust, coordinated global response but has been criticized. It became clear that the current global legal infrastructure was unequipped for global security (GHS). Understanding the history, development, and evolution of the IHR provides necessary context for the global community to prepare for any future crises. I looked at the intersection between the IHR and domestic health systems and how a synergistic relationship is required to enhance GHS. At the core is to amend IHR (2005) to strengthen GHS and reinforce global preparedness at a global scale while maintaining the delicate balance to preserve national sovereignty and authority.
