Delegates from 194 countries, led by the United States, are expected this week to vote to relinquish their respective country’s sovereignty and grant autonomous power to the World Health Organization over international health events.
They are expected to approve amendments proposed by the Biden administration to the International Health Regulations (2005) treaty that “defines countries’ rights and obligations in handling public health events and emergencies that have the potential to cross borders.”
The amendments legally authorize the WHO to order international lockdowns and mandates, require countries to report citizen data, including their DNA and other information, and collect this information, in part to restrict travel.
Delegates convened this week at the 75th World Health Assembly, the legislative body of the World Health Organization at the United Nations headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.
At the assembly, the U.S. delegate expressed support for the new surveillance system, saying changes to the IHR would “improve the global health architecture systems and tools to prevent, prepare and respond to the next pandemic. Improving and modernizing IHR is critical to ensuring the world is better prepared for and can respond to the next pandemic. The United States of America looks forward to working with member states to move forward on this important issue strengthening our collective ability to prevent, detect and respond to future pandemics.”
The amendments changed the time period for when countries can opt out to change their vote to six months from when the amendments are adopted. Once approved, they would become effective in November 2022 – after the U.S. midterm elections and before new members of Congress are sworn in.
The adoption of the amendments don’t require approval of two-thirds of the U.S. Senate.
Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver argues the amendments are another example of the lawlessness of the Biden administration.
“The proposed amendments would give the WHO global jurisdiction over the United States to declare health emergencies,” he said in a statement. The Orlando-based religious liberty organization has consistently fought Biden administration mandates in court and won.
“We have already seen the lawless abuse of power under Joe Biden by the Centers for Disease Control, which the courts have fortunately blocked. Americans would have very little recourse against the WHO,” Staver added. “The WHO has sovereign immunity, and an international court in The Hague would not consider the constitutional rights of Americans. America must not give up its sovereignty to the WHO. These amendments must be withdrawn immediately.”
The Biden administration submitted the amendments without notifying Congress, without issuing an official statement or holding a news conference, Staver noted.
In early 2020, Americans first heard from the White House: “two weeks to slow the spread” of the coronavirus. President Donald Trump declared a national emergency and state governors subsequently issued lockdowns. More than two years later, the lockdowns have since proven to be ineffective in preventing the spread of the coronavirus or any other disease. Instead, they contributed to patients not having access to preventative treatments, critical care for cancer and other patients, increased suicides and worsening mental health issues, significant learning gaps in educational outcomes, widespread employment losses, and increased national debt, critics contend.
Now, the White House has proposed giving the WHO authority to impose global lockdowns and relinquishing U.S. sovereignty in the process.
Doing so, the UN argues in its report, “Covid-19: Make It the Last Pandemic,” is because the global body could have prevented the spread of the coronavirus if the WHO had control over all independent country responses.
It states, “In its current form, the WHO does not possess such powers …To move on with the treaty, WHO therefore needs to be empowered – financially, and politically… The treaty should possess an adaptable incentive regime, [including] sanctions such as public reprimands, economic sanctions, or denial of benefits.”
According to the WHO, the IHR would require global surveillance and a digital health passport to be able to legally travel.
It states the regulations “are an instrument of international law that is legally-binding on 196 countries, including the 194 WHO Member States. … They create rights and obligations for countries, including the requirement to report public health events. The Regulations also outline the criteria to determine whether or not a particular event constitutes a ‘public health emergency of international concern.’”
It requires countries “to designate a National IHR Focal Point for communications with WHO, to establish and maintain core capacities for surveillance and response, including at designated points of entry. Additional provisions address the areas of international travel and transport such as the health documents required for international traffic.”
According to the amendments, in Article 6, when the WHO informs a country that it poses a “potential risk of a public health emergency’” it is required to hand over public health information of its citizens, including “’genetic sequence data”’ within 48 hours.
As of March 31, 2020, the U.S. gave the most money to the WHO. By July 2020, Trump formally withdrew the U.S. from the WHO. Biden reinstated U.S. membership in the WHO and led the charge to implement global health surveillance through international law.
So a Treaty amendment that isn’t ratified can destroy your US Constitutional rights?
Really? Only if you allow it to happen.
To Hell with WHO and Joe Biden too.
Sign me up – this abomination must not stand. Let’s go brandon and the who too. Next, they’ll want to make us slaves so they can give everyone “monkey pox” vax so no one will feel discriminated against. This one world government stuff is too creepy – but the antichrist isn’t out in the open yet.
I’m visiting Florida now and Desantis will not bow down to the WHO. Dunleavy can stand tall and do the same. Will he?
Will somebody PLEASE take Biden ‘to the train station’!
Read the constitution. Treaties need 2/3 of the Senate
I’m not sure about amendments to an existing treaty…
Dear Lord, we are screwed if this goes through.
There is not one person in the United States of America, politician or otherwise, that has the authority to surrender the sovereignty of this country’s citizens. There are those who would assume that authority unto themselves and endeavor to deceive everyone into believing that they have it. We will all pay a high price for this, and for allowing justice to be subverted to the point that we are now here, BUT the deceivers (the actual individuals and those who have sponsored and advised their activities) will in the end the pay the highest price. The Creator will exact the tolls.
it is not at all likely that Biden has a clue about these issues but Susan Rice and Obama do as they continue to destroy this nation and fracture its foundations as they push for more world order..!!
Elevating a member of a terrorist organization to the leadership of the WHO, and then attempting to mandate FREE citizens of the United States of America abdicate their constitutional rights, then further violate the constitution by allowing unelected foreigners to deny our rights is a treasonous act. If Biden signs off on this, he should be impeached for violating his oath.
He’s not even and so science isn’t a thing. Subjugation of American sovereignty is the the thing.
There Will Be Blood
This elder Biden belongs in a care home, not attempting to run the nation, this WHO fiasco is going the way of his information minister, stupid, all vey stupid. Congress must get off their rear ends, grow a pair or whatever it takes, just wake the hell up and do something, lame idiots.
The old man has no say in anything. He makes no decisions, he’s only the front man for his handlers, the globalists.
Remember what the Kenyan said, ‘If I could make an arrangement where I had a stand-in, a front man or front woman, and they had an earpiece in and I was just in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff, then I could sort of deliver the lines but somebody else was doing all the talking and ceremony, then I’d be fine with that because I found the work fascinating.
All laws which are repugnant to the Constitition are null and void from inception. Marbury vs Madison. Foreign entities have no authority in the USA. Repugnant.
Conservative and Christian media outlets have been reporting this for more than a week and the MSM has been silent on it. It is outrageous and inconceivable that Biden would sacrifice U.S. sovereignty to anyone, let alone to an arm of the globalist-minded U.N. And why aren’t Murkowski and Sullivan calling him out on this or applying pressure to stop this?
It’s not just shocking that he would hand over our sovereignty but to whom? Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director-general of the WHA for the next 5 years, is a Marxist tied to the CCP, which would benefit most from Biden’s Amendments. Guess who isn’t invited to this globalist party? Taiwan. Shocker.
Most importantly, Tedros is not a medical doctor. He is a member of a the Leftist Tigrayan People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), which is a violent, communist political party with human rights violations on their hands, like gang rapes and mass killings. Another shocker. Biden wants to lower OUR level of decision-making power and strengthen Tedros’ decision-making authority. Over us. He would have unilateral authority to declare a public health emergency in the U.S. without our permission. What could possibly go wrong?
“Trump formally withdrew the U.S. from the WHO.” This is why.
Hopefully, voters will rattle some cages in Washington this week to stop this.
Thank you for posting this.
Treason against this great Nation of America will be committed if this goes through ! End of my comment for now !
Brazil says they won’t sign it. Imagine that.
Brazil won’t sign the WHO Pandemic Treaty.
“National sovereignty is not something to be handed over to WHO or other entities and to be renounced just to join a club of seemingly advanced nations,” — Jair Bolsonaro.
Imagine that.
Grandstanding. Posturing. States would not go along with this any more than they go along with marijuana laws.
?
Stand up for your rights! This IS stripping us of our Consutional Rights for sure!!!
Hell NO!
You don’t have to comply!
Only thing you have to do in life is die!
Fascist-Book just flagged my post on this as “Partially false” so that confirms it’s 100% true. Funny that it took Suckerburg’s fascist-checkers 12 day to flag my post, too.
He’s not even an md so science isn’t a thing. Subjugation of American sovereignty is the thing.
A patriot said this: “Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God. Give me Liberty or give me death”. Our form of government is limited by the US Constitution. People have the right to be secure to determine for themselves in morals and religion what the equitable will of God is for them in their life. Not the WHO, not Jiden doppelgangers. No authority. This the invasion our enemies have been preparing diligently to commence. These people are religious. They worship evil Satan the devil.
