    Preventing catastrophic lab accidents & bioweapons development | Jaime Yassif (2021)

    Jaime Yassif, Rob Wiblin

    Senior Fellow Jamie Yassif champions the creation of an independent, UN-linked international organization to implement a layered defense against engineered pathogen risks through improved attribution and governance. Her strategy proposes a new Joint Assessment Mechanism and a Biosafety Funders Compact to close critical gaps in the Biological Weapons Convention while avoiding reliance on single technological solutions. Currently in its socialization phase, the initiative seeks to launch by late 2022 by bridging the divide between technical science and diplomatic policy to secure global cooperation despite geopolitical tensions.
