- Abstract
In this article the author referes to the impact of the Covid pandemics on the international system, the response of the states and the international organizations to this world health crisis as well as the challenges and drawbacks the countries have been faced with since the beginning of the pandemics. The novel coronavirus hit a world that was unprepared for it. In search of solutions how to stop the spread countries were left with few options but to shut down their economies and order people to stay home. The economic and social effects of the pandemics will linger for decades. In a pandemic, nearly everyone is hit at once and there is far greater demand on the limited resources of the WHO, the World Bank and the other international organizations. And how bad or how good was the response of WHO? There should be a fundamental change in the way countries think about global health security having in mind the questionable responses of some of the most powerful states in the world to the pandemics. As an answer to this global threat, mutual cooperation between states is needed. The viruses do not recognize national borders which means that the economic, social and political challenges caused by the pandemics may stir unprecedented consequences to the states and the international community. While in the first lines of the response operation we have the health workers that help decrease the number of deaths caused by Covid 19, different actors on the international stage are actively thinking on how to overcome this crisis and reach a period of stabilization and reconstruction. One of the biggest challenges the international community is faced with is the strengthening of the multilateral cooperation in the fight against the corona virus and lowering the risk not only of this, but also of future pandemics the world may be faced with.
