GENEVA (LifeSiteNews) — The member states of the World Health Organization (WHO) will next week negotiate the “zero draft” of an international “pandemic accord” that would highlight “global coordination” and “equity” and give the unelected global organization broader authority to dictate the pandemic policies of its 194 member states, including the U.S., the U.K., and Canada.
The move will follow this week’s discussions on amendments to the WHO’s International Health Regulations (IHR). Critics of the amendments proposed in recent months have raised serious concerns about protecting the sovereignty of member nations amid more globalized public health controls.
On Tuesday, The Epoch Times reported that the initial draft of the “pandemic accord” came after discussions between U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra and WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus to “maximize the longstanding U.S.–WHO partnership, and to protect and promote the health of all people around the globe, including the American people.”
After these and other meetings, the WHO published its February 1, 2023, “zero draft” of the “WHO convention, agreement or other international instrument on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response,” also known as “WHO CA+.”
