    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Institutional capacity directly determines health outcomes; weak governance prevents vaccine distribution, sanitation, and medical infrastructure regardless of external aid.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.States bear primary responsibility for citizen welfare; outsourcing justice duties to transnational schemes erodes accountability and local democratic control over health policy.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Transnational schemes lack enforcement mechanisms and create dependency; strengthening domestic institutions builds sustainable, self-directed health systems.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Failed institutions often result from colonial legacies and structural inequality, not mere incompetence; blaming states ignores transnational causal responsibility.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Global health challenges (pandemics, antimicrobial resistance) transcend borders; no state can solve these alone, making cooperative duties necessary and justified.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Even well-intentioned states lack resources for health equity; transnational schemes (WHO, medical research funding) demonstrably improve outcomes where domestic capacity is insufficient.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
