An over 100-nation coalition led by Australia and the European Union is calling for an independent inquiry into the origin of the CCP virus, and the World Health Organization’s (WHO) response to the outbreak, according to a draft resolution proposed ahead of the World Health Assembly’s (WHA) annual meeting in Geneva on May 18.

The draft report (pdf) for the WHA’s 73rd meeting pushes for an “impartial, independent, and comprehensive” investigation into the CCP virus pandemic, commonly known as the novel coronavirus pandemic. It also calls for a probe into the WHO’s international response to the outbreak, including “their timelines pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic.”
