Joint Civil Society Letter to US President Biden ahead of the WTO Ministerial Conference

Dear President Biden: With less than two weeks before the World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial Conference begins on November 30, we are writing to request your personal engagement in delivering a temporary waiver of certain WTO rules so that countries can remove intellectual property barriers that are limiting the supplies of COVID-19 vaccines, treatments and diagnostic tests necessary to end the pandemic.
