US Has Rejected the Amendments to the International Health Regulations

"This isn't just about bureaucratic language. These amendments directly impact your right to privacy, freedom of movement, and control over your personal health decisions. The updated rules include vague but far-reaching terms that would allow the WHO to interfere with national emergency response measures, compel governments to implement digital health surveillance tools, and facilitate narrative control under the guise of risk communication."

"The language is intentionally broad - enough to authorize sweeping actions while avoiding accountability. And unlike WHO membership, these amendments would have been binding even if a nation had exited the organization altogether. Italy, Israel, and Austria have also rejected or objected to the amendments. Their actions mirror the U.S. stance: health decisions need to remain within national borders and be governed by constitutional protections, not dictated by global bureaucrats."

The United States rejected the World Health Organization's 2024 amendments to the International Health Regulations. The amendments would grant an unelected international body authority over national public health decisions, including pandemic declarations, digital health documentation, and equitable access to medical products without democratic oversight. The changes would affect privacy, freedom of movement, and individual control over health choices. Vague, broad language could enable WHO interference with national emergency responses, compel digital health surveillance tools, and facilitate narrative control under risk communication. The amendments would be binding even if a nation exited WHO, and several countries objected citing overreach and erosion of civil liberties.
