MC12 : Exclusive rights must finally be lifted

The WTO Ministerial Conference, to be held in Geneva from 30 November to 3 December, will discuss the temporary waiver of intellectual property protection on vaccines, tests and anti-covid drugs. We urge the Swiss government to stop its systematic blocking at the WTO, which has been going on for over a year. For their part, we also urge pharmaceutical companies to share their know-how without restriction.
