What Wikipedia says

The International Health Regulations (IHR), first adopted by the World Health Assembly in 1969 and last revised in 2024, are legally binding rules that only apply to the WHO that is an instrument that aims for international collaboration "to prevent, protect against, control, and provide a public health response to the international spread of disease in ways that are commensurate with and restricted to public health risks and that avoid unnecessary interference with international traffic and trade".
