WHO Pandemic Treaty: The handover timeline of your country's sovereignty to WHO.

https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/P-9-2022-000921_EN.html

December 1, 2021 – the 194 members of the World Health Organization (WHO) reached a consensus to begin the process of drafting and negotiating a convention, agreement or other international instrument under the Constitution of the World Health Organization to strengthen pandemic prevention, preparedness and response.

March 1, 2022 – An intergovernmental negotiating body will now be constituted and hold its first meeting by this date (to agree on ways of working and timelines).

August 1, 2022 – The second meeting by this date (to discuss progress on a working draft).

2023 – A progress report will be delivered to the 76th World Health Assembly in this year.

2024 – The aim is to adopt this Pandemic Treaty by this year.

Many who favour the treaty believe that it offers the best way to increase political commitment from states to reform global health governance. However, the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates that this proposition has no basis in fact. Government responses to COVID-19 have purportedly violated or manipulated many treaties, including human rights agreements.

To what extent will the Commission ensure that the citizen, who has no direct vote in a body such as the WHO, is not bypassed in the decision-making process and that a shift of competence further and further away from the voter does not lead to an increasing ‘de-democratization’ of our society?
