WHO has your Health

According to the WHO's website, on March 30, 2021, it announced an "urgent call for an International Pandemic Treaty," stating that such a treaty is needed to orchestrate a single globalized response to pandemics. And, "25 heads of government and international leaders" have come together in a joint call to form the treaty.

The following points are a summary of the draft treaty amendments:
~The International Health Regulations would be legally binding and supersede the United States Constitution.

~The United States has proposed amendments to the legally binding International Health Regulations that will be voted upon at the next World Health Assembly May 22 to May 28.

~These proposed amendments will cede additional sovereignty, control and legal authority over to the World Health Organization.

~These amendments will NOT require approval by 2/3 of the United States Senate. If they are approved (as submitted by the United States) by a simple majority of the 194 member countries of the World Health Assembly countries), these amendments would enter into force as international law just six months later (November 2022).
The details of this are not crystal clear.

~It is not known if the amendments will be voted upon individually or as a complete package.

~The amendments will give the Director General of the WHO the power to unilaterally declare a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) even over the objection of the country dealing with an outbreak of disease.

~According to changes made to U.S. regulations that were published one day before Donald Trump was inaugurated (January 19, 2017), the definition of a "Public Health Emergency" in the United States now includes the declaration of a PHEIC by the WHO.

~A unilateral declaration of a PHEIC by the WHO will enable the declaration of a Public Health Emergency by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.

~The amendments proposed by the United States would also give the Director General of the WHO the legal authority to unilaterally issue an "intermediate public health alert (IPHA)."
The criteria for the issuance of an IPHA is simply that "the Director-General has determined it requires heightened international awareness and a potential international public health response."

~The amendments will also give "regional directors" within the WHO having the legal authority to declare a Public Health Emergency of Regional Concern (PHERC).
