UN recommendation

Argymhelliad Cymreig clir

Dylai’r Llywodraeth sicrhau bod cytundebau masnach yn cyd-fynd â’r Cyfamod Rhyngwladol ar Hawliau Economaidd, Cymdeithasol a Diwylliannol (ICESCR), gan gynnwys mewn siroedd eraill. Felly, dylai’r Llywodraeth gefnogi:
(a) Yr oedi dros dro o ran defnyddio rhai rheolau eiddo deallusol (a elwir hefyd yn TRIPS) ar gyfer brechlynnau COVID-19, profion, triniaethau a chynhyrchion meddygol angenrheidiol eraill;
(b) Sgyrsiau parhaus ar gyfer Cytundeb Pandemig Sefydliad Iechyd y Byd (WHO), sy’n canolbwyntio ar sicrhau argaeledd i driniaethau sy’n achub bywydau, eu gwneud yn hygyrch, yn fforddiadwy a’u bod yn cael eu rhannu’n deg, yn enwedig mewn gwledydd sy’n datblygu. Dylai ddilyn ‘cyngor y CU’ ar wyddoniaeth a hawliau economaidd, cymdeithasol a diwylliannol, ei ddatganiad ar bandemig COVID-19 a hawliau economaidd, cymdeithasol a diwylliannol a’i ddatganiad ar fynediad cyffredinol a theg at frechlynnau COVID-19.


Original UN recommendation

The Committee recommends that the State Party ensure that trade agreements are implemented in a manner consistent with its obligations under the Covenant with regard to the enjoyment of economic, social and cultural rights in other countries. In that regard, it recommends that the State Party give its firm support and cooperation to:
(a) the full temporary waiver on the implementation of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights as it pertains to vaccines, diagnostics, treatments and other necessary medical products relating to COVID-19;
(b) the WHO Pandemic Agreement negotiations, as they affect the availability, accessibility, affordability and benefit-sharing of essential life-saving treatment, especially in developing countries. The Committee also recommends that the State Party be guided by paragraph 82 of the Committee’s general comment No. 25 (2020) on science and economic, social and cultural rights and the Committee’s statements on the COVID 19 pandemic and economic, social and cultural rights and on universal and equitable access to vaccines for COVID-19.
