WHO = Member States --- Actually it is the other way round - Member States have the duty to inform WHO of any public health issue that could have global consequences. No country ever did it... Obviously the mechanism is not working.

That said, international organizations have no coercitive power / army; at best they have a moral power. Member States are sovereign and no external entity (except the Security Council under certain conditions and for issues related to international peace and security) can force a State to do anything...
