Informed Choice Washington is seeking legislative sponsors for a bill that would preemptively negate any authority by the World Health Organization, the United Nations and the World Economic Forum in our state. Similar bills have passed in other states. Please read and forward your concerns to your legislators to help build support and to seek their sponsorship of the upcoming bill. We ask that you forward this draft to as many of your friends and personal contacts as possible so that others can be notified.
The U.N., at its latest General Assembly meeting in New York City (September 2024), passed what it calls its Pact for the Future Treaty. It contains two parts; one on science and technology and one about youth and future generations.
Drafting of the Pact was influenced by members of the World Health Organization and is an end run by the U.N, after many attempts by the World Health Organization to pass its Pandemic Preparedness and Response Treaty. The last attempt by the WHO to pass the PPR treaty occurred at the May 2024 meeting of the World Health Assembly in Geneva Switzerland last May, where it failed passage. (Questions arise: Why was the treaty not signed? Was it too overreaching? Would member countries lose sovereignty?).
Echoing the WHO’s pandemic aspirations, the Pact, which amounts to a treaty, seeks to give the U.N. Secretary General the sole authority to operationalize an “Emergency Platform.” for any type of emergency he designates, to decide which emergencies warrant this declaration, to decide when to trigger this authority, and to determine how to manage an emergency that crosses national borders.
The “Pact.” has now been silently adopted by 193 heretofore sovereign nations, including the U.S.( by the current administration in Washington) and will give sweeping authority to the Director General of the U.N. in the event he declares what the document refers to as a “Global Shock”, which includes: “climate change, pandemics, biological attacks, supply chain disruptions, cyber space disruptions, event in outer space, unforeseen black swan event.”
Perhaps, most upsetting, the Pact was passed by a method called “the silence procedure”which assumes it was accepted since no one objected, The current administration in D.C. has not protested, and none of these treaties ( WHO Amendments, the PPR, and the Pact) have been introduced in the Senate for advise and consent, as required by Article 2 Clause 2 of our Constitution.
If you are concerned about International organizations reaching across U.S. borders and into your state to tell you, your local enforcement agencies and your governor what to do, then nothing could be more important than to urgently contact your federal legislators and demand that they get involved.
Please also contact your Washington state legislators. (2025 session starts in January), and ask them to consider drafting and supporting a preventative bill in Olympia like Louisiana’s Senate Bill 133. This bill was signed into law by Governor Jeff Landry earlier this year and prevents any authority by the World Health Organization, the U.N. and the World Economic Forum within that state’s borders.
Section 1 of Louisiana’s Act 395 (crux of Senate Bill 133) follows,
Jurisdiction of certain international organizations
The World Health Organization, United Nations, and the World Economic Forum shall have no jurisdiction or power within the State of Louisiana. No rule, regulation, fee, tax, policy or mandate of any kind of the World Health Organization, United Nations, and the World Economic Forum shall be enforced or implemented by the State of Louisiana, or any agency, department, board, commission, political subdivision, governmental entity of the state, parish, municipality, or any other political entity.
