Wishful thinking on the part of W.H.O.?
In the H1N1 pandemic at least one government where the vaccine was made essentially seized the production facility for use by the citizens of that country. Contractual obligations be damned. So a warning for this outbreak. Do not expect any vaccine delivery agreements to be upheld. Maybe yes, maybe no.

China in talks with WHO over assessing its COVID-19 vaccines for global use
China is in talks to have its locally-produced COVID-19 vaccines assessed by the World Health Organization, as a step toward making them available for international use, a WHO official said on Tuesday.
Hundreds of thousands of essential workers and other groups considered at high risk in China have been given locally-developed vaccines even as clinical trials had not been fully completed, raising safety concerns among experts.

China has at least four experimental vaccines in the final stage of clinical trials - two are developed by state-backed China National Biotec Group (CNBG), and the remaining two are from Sinovac Biotech SVA.O and CanSino Biologics 6185.HK688185.SS respectively.
They are tested in such countries as Pakistan, Indonesia, Brazil, Russia and the United Arab Emirates.
