In particular, it is assessed how the EU can influence (legally binding) norms adopted under the auspices of the WHO. It is submitted that despite the restricted legal landscape, namely the lack of capacities of the EU under the WHO Constitution and the limited competences of the EU in the field of health, the EU is capable of influencing international health law adopted under the auspices of the WHO. It ensures international health norms\u2019 compatibility with its own health legislation, for instance, through coordinated positions of the Member States. Additionally, and most importantly for the purposes of this working paper, the EU actively engages in multilevel dialogues with the WHO. Thereby it uploads its own norms to the WHO-level and downloads WHO-norms to the EU-level. These \u2018multilevel normative processes\u2019 do not only ensure preferred international health norms for the EU, but they similarly contribute to the development of health law \u2013 both internationally and regionally.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"file ext-pdf\" title=\"MOLLET_final_04-2022.pdf\" href=\"https:\/\/ceje.meig.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/MOLLET_final_04-2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><span class=\"file ext-pdf\">Acc\u00e8s au texte<\/span><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","publication_tax":[47],"class_list":["post-633","publication","type-publication","status-publish","hentry","publication_tax-working-paper"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ceje.meig.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication\/633","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ceje.meig.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ceje.meig.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/publication"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ceje.meig.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication\/633\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":635,"href":"https:\/\/ceje.meig.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication\/633\/revisions\/635"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ceje.meig.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=633"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"publication_tax","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ceje.meig.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publication_tax?post=633"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
