WHO Calls for ‘Global Governance’ to Fight ‘Health Emergencies’ & ‘Climate Change’

The World Health Organization (WHO) is urging nations to relinquish their sovereignty and submit to a global authority.

According to the WHO, the establishment of "global governance" is necessary to combat health emergencies, climate change, social and economic inequalities, and other issues.

These calls from the WHO come shortly after House Republicans criticized President Joe Biden, a Democrat, for negotiating America's pandemic authority without congressional input.

Republican lawmakers argue that this agreement will grant more power to the WHO, consolidating authority in an unelected organization that they believe failed the American public during the pandemic.

In response to the Republicans' criticism, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus issued a report suggesting that individual countries lack the necessary global infrastructure to address potential emergencies.

Tedros asserts that while epidemic-prone diseases are resurging, the WHO's mandate regarding health emergencies should extend beyond pandemics to include hunger, poverty, ecological degradation, climate change, and social and economic inequalities.

According to Tedros, member nations need to establish a global architecture for health emergency preparedness, prevention, response, and resilience, including global governance, financing, and health emergency systems.

However, Republicans disagree with the WHO's perspective and have pushed back against its proposals.

Representative Harriet Hageman of Wyoming argues that international law should not supersede the United States Constitution, and President Biden cannot force Americans to abide by laws and regulations not passed by their own government.

Representative Tim Burchett of Tennessee criticizes the WHO pandemic treaty as vague and potentially infringing on American sovereignty, allowing the organization to dictate the type of healthcare Americans receive during global pandemics.

A public forum organized by Representative Ralph Norman of South Carolina included 18 House members who expressed their concerns about the negotiations and the potential impact on American sovereignty.

Ambassador Pamela Hamamoto is currently negotiating the terms of the WHO Pandemic Accord on behalf of the United States, bypassing congressional votes to push the agreement through.

This agreement, scheduled to be signed by the 194 WHO member nations in 2024, aims to produce legally binding treaties and agreements that coordinate a unified response during health emergencies, with significant decision-making authority vested in the WHO.

According to these agreements, the WHO would have the authority to declare when a pandemic is in effect, coordinate medical supply chains, and ensure equitable distribution among member nations.

The agreements also emphasize global coordination between the WHO and national health authorities, such as the CDC, to set health policies and collaborate on issues like combating misinformation.

Critics argue that the WHO's track record of failures in recent years should lead to a reduction in its authority rather than granting it more power.

Representative Eric Burlison of Missouri describes the WHO as corrupt, incompetent, and discredited, particularly following its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Former President Donald Trump withdrew the United States from the WHO in 2020, citing concerns about the organization's transparency and handling of the pandemic.

President Biden reversed this decision upon taking office and advocated for the establishment of the WHO Pandemic Accord.

House Republicans argue that the WHO is influenced by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and call for the United States to withdraw from the organization again.

They point to reports indicating that the CCP engaged in a cover-up during the early stages of the COVID-19 outbreak and that the WHO praised the CCP's transparency, echoing its talking points.

Legislation has been introduced in Congress to cut ties with the WHO, including the WHO Withdrawal Act, which would end U.S. membership in the organization, and the No Taxpayer Funding for the World Health Organization Act, which would cease American taxpayers' financial contributions.

Representative Anna Paulina Luna of Florida criticizes the WHO for its alleged promotion of sexualizing children.

Luna highlights the WHO's publication of international sexual education standards that include teaching infants and young children about nudity exploration and early childhood masturbation.

She condemns these recommendations as abnormal and labels those supporting them as perverts who should stay away from children.

Reports indicate that the WHO is advocating for guidelines on child sexuality, including the teaching of early childhood masturbation from birth to four years old.

Recent news in the UK suggests that the WHO is pushing these guidelines in schools without government approval, although the UK government has rejected them, emphasizing that they do not recognize or promote the WHO's recommendations in schools.
