WHO Pandemic Treaty: US Senate Approval Required
This act mandates that any international agreements on pandemic prevention and response, developed by the World Health Organization (WHO), must be ratified by the U.S. Senate. This means American citizens will have a greater say in the international public health commitments their country undertakes, as the Senate represents the states and their residents. Without Senate approval, such agreements will have no legal force in the United States, protecting citizens' rights and obligations from unauthorized changes.
Key points
Any future WHO international agreements on pandemics must be ratified by the U.S. Senate with a two-thirds vote before becoming binding on the United States.
The act aims to ensure that U.S. citizens, through their Senate representatives, have a decisive voice in global health matters that could impact their lives, rights, and finances.
Without Senate consent, no such agreement will have legal force in the U.S. and cannot be used as a basis for alleging violations of U.S. law.
