In the wake of COVID-19, much attention has focused on the failure of global health governance mechanisms in responding to the pandemic. Now governments are in a moment of intense international lawmaking — currently drafting a new pandemic treaty/accord, revising the International Health Regulations, and more. But new law will matter little if it doesn’t change behavior. An important question remains: what can be done to ensure countries will comply with their new commitments?
