Unlike the law-making process in most democratic nations, where elected officials implement national law, the World Health Organization process allows a small number of global representatives, often unelected diplomats, to impose international laws on all of the WHO’s member states.
The treaty requires the WHO’s 194 member states (which represent 98 percent of all the countries in the world) to strengthen the organization’s “One Health surveillance systems.”
One Health is a WHO system that aims to “optimize the health of people, animals and ecosystems” and “uses the close, interdependent links among these fields to create new surveillance and disease control methods.”
This treaty is just one of the global surveillance proposals with ties to the WHO that is being pushed by influential global figures. At Business (B20) 2022, a summit of business leaders from G20 nations, numerous countries agreed on a digital health passport that uses WHO standards. This digital health certificate will track whether people have been vaccinated or tested for COVID-19.
