Waiving IP rights will ensure timely availability of COVID vaccines: India at UNSC
India has worked with South Africa and other partners in the WTO to seek relaxation in the norms of the TRIPS agreement, Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla said on Friday and noted that this waiver will be an important step for enabling the rapid scaling up of manufacture and timely availability of affordable COVID-19 vaccines and essential medical products on a global basis.
"India has also worked with South Africa and other partners in WTO to seek relaxation in norms of TRIPS agreement to ensure quick and affordable access to vaccines and medicines for developing countries during the COVID pandemic," said Foreign Secretary Shringla at UNSC high-level meeting.

The resolution would have made Palestine
the 194th member of the United Nations. .
Deputy Ambassador Robert Wood stressed to the
Security Council that the U.S. veto of the resolution... .
... “does not reflect opposition to Palestinian statehood
but instead is an acknowledgment that it will only
come from direct negotiations between the parties.”.
Similarly, deputy State Department
spokesman Vedant Patel said that the U.S. has...
... “been very clear consistently that premature actions
in New York — even with the best intentions — will
not achieve statehood for the Palestinian people.”.
In response to the failed vote, Palestinian U.N.
Ambassador Riyad Mansour told the council that
the decision would not deter the Palestinian people.
The fact that this resolution did not
pass will not break our will and it
will not defeat our determination, Riyad Mansour, Palestinian U.N. Ambassador, via Associated Press.
We will not stop in our effort.
The state of Palestine is inevitable.
It is real. Perhaps they see it as
far away, but we see it as near, Riyad Mansour, Palestinian U.N. Ambassador, via Associated Press

Study Warns Deadly , Ocean Upswells Increasing , Due to Climate Crisis.
'The Guardian' reports that a new study highlights how
the climate-disrupted ocean has pushed a number of aquatic
species to flee increasing temperatures in the tropics.
The forced migration has increasingly resulted in
sharks, rays and other species dying amid intense
upswells of cold water from the depths of the ocean.
In 2021, extreme cold upswelling off of
South Africa's coast caused a mass die-off of over
260 marine organisms from 81 different species.
A recent study found that these
upswellings are increasing in
both frequency and intensity. .
Scientists were able to study the 2021
mass die-off in precise detail, due to one of
the victims being a satellite-tagged bull shark.
The bull shark died in waters 10 degrees
Celsius below the temperature
tropical species are accustomed to.
Despite the shark's attempts to avoid the
cold swell, it could not escape the impacted
area before succumbing to hypothermia.
'The Guardian' reports that the team found
that the frequency of these cold upswelling
events has been increasing since 1981.
Other species killed in similar events
include whale sharks, bigeye trevallies, convict
surgeonfish and the common blacktip shark. .
