We the American people think our federal government is too powerful and headed down the wrong path, yet the World Health Organization (WHO) is moving forward with a global plan that urges national governments to secure more power for future health emergencies.
The U.S. is part of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (INB), a WHO body established in 2021 and comprised of all 194 Member States. The group's global pandemic treaty draft was recently released in preparation for their fourth meeting at the end of February.
The initial draft takes bold steps to boost government control during any future health crises. Reiterated throughout the 32-page draft is the “common goal of strengthened pandemic preparedness” at a global level.

“WHO is fundamental to strengthening pandemic prevention, preparedness, response and recovery of health systems,” the draft states. However, former President Trump proved the WHO was easily disposable during his time in office.
A list of guiding principles includes equity, inclusiveness, gender equality, and the central role of the WHO. Accountability is a guiding principle detailed that makes each member responsible for “strengthening and sustaining their health systems’ capacities and public health functions to provide adequate health and social measures."
Addressing a “whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach” to strengthening national powers, the draft encourages technical and financial cooperation and the engagement of national leadership at the highest level. It also details a response system to misinformation and the strengthening of public trust.
The word ‘strengthen’ is mentioned about 47 times in one form or another. The entire draft continuously empowers national governments to seize control when necessary.
“Each Party shall build and strengthen its country regulatory capacities and performance for timely approval of pandemic-related products,” the draft declares, describing an accelerated authorization process for emergency use products. “Each Party should strengthen its national public health and social policies to facilitate a rapid, resilient response, especially for persons in vulnerable situations.”
The word 'freedom' is mentioned three times in the document. The draft assures that during public health emergencies, any limitations on human rights should be aligned with international law. However, that's not the U.S. Constitution. The document asserts any restrictions placed on humans should ensure there’s no discrimination and are necessary to achieve the public health goal.
But who decides what's necessary? The treaty assigns declaring pandemics to the WHO Director-General, not to American leaders.
As if that’s not glaring enough to Americans who prefer the U.S. Constitution over the legally binding treaty, the draft states restrictions on the freedom of movement, such as quarantines and isolations, must ensure people have sufficient access to medication, health services, and other necessities and rights.
How comforting. In recap, our freedoms may need to be temporarily sacrificed for the common good but human necessities will be taken into account. When it comes to individual liberties, these are very vague and dangerous agreements.

The U.S. government’s response to Covid-19 was partly deceitful, unorganized, unconstitutional, and ineffective. Yet powerful organizations like the WHO are capitalizing on this lack of effectiveness, claiming the “catastrophic failure” calls for sweeping transformations.
Here at Convention of States Action, we're for the U.S. Constitution, not a legally binding pandemic treaty.
The WHO’s largest contributor is the United States. This means American taxpayer dollars aid in the group's expansion of power in the name of ‘health.’
This isn’t about global cooperation, this is about American sovereignty and individual liberties. We the People need to stop this intrusion with courage and vigor.
The draft will go through a series of edits before it is agreed to by all members; either way, the American people have no say in this. By calling for a Convention of States, we can band together and say no to the push for government expansion in our daily lives.
