Print PDF

Two IHR assessment missions were conducted to assess national core capacities for implementation of the IHR in Libya and Afghanistan. Capacities at points of entry and capacity requirements for four related hazards were also assessed during the missions in the two countries. Both missions provided technical support to countries in assessing their compliance to the IHR (2005) by 15 June 2012 and in requesting an extension of two additional years to ensure compliance.
