WHO International Health Regulations
In a frantic last minute rush, modified IHR were illegally approved by the most recent World Health Assembly (#77)

A meeting of the World Health Assembly concluded Saturday June 01, 2024. This particular Assembly meeting, the first following the COVIDcrisis, failed to achieve agreement on wording or passage of a proposed World Health Organization (WHO) pandemic “treaty”, also referred to as an “agreement”. In parallel to the treaty, the World Health Assembly (in close cooperation with the US HHS/Biden administration) has been working on “updating” the existing (2005) International Health Regulations (IHR) agreement, which historically functioned as a voluntary accord establishing international norms for reporting, managing, and cooperating in matters relating to infectious diseases and infectious disease outbreaks (including “pandemics”).

In blatant disregard for established protocol and procedures, sweeping IHR amendments were prepared behind closed doors, and then both submitted for consideration and accepted by the World Health Assembly quite literally in the last moments of a meeting which stretched late into Saturday night, the last day of the meeting.

After nearly 50 years of paying taxes, maintaining his home, and contributing to the community, his lender has informed him that his property no longer qualifies as secure collateral. The reason? His land title is now contested under an Indigenous land claim.

“I’ve owned my land for decades,” he said. “I’m not giving it up without a fight.” The homeowner received the news by letter and said his mortgage company refused renewal due to the uncertainty surrounding ownership. “I paid taxes, I paid for my place. Now, lo and behold, I don’t own it. Not fair.”

The court ruling in B.C. marks a historic precedent — and now it’s ...
