The WHO Pandemic Treaty And IHR Amendments. While international cooperation and coordination in public health makes sense, proposals for an unprecedented ceding of rule-making powers and national sovereignty from national governments to the unelected World Health Organisation and related erosions of cornerstone human rights are gravely concerning.

How is it possible a US president can Constitutionally cede national sovereignty power to the WHO an unelected NGO?
 
It is important to note that the power to enter into international agreements, including treaties, is delegated to the President of the United States under the U.S. Constitution. As such, the President has the authority to negotiate and sign treaties on behalf of the U.S. government. However, for a treaty to become binding on the United States, it must be approved by the U.S. Senate with a two-thirds vote.

It is also important to note that the World Health Organization (WHO) is not an NGO, but rather an international organization established under the United Nations system with the purpose of promoting global public health. The WHO operates with the participation and support of its member states, including the United States.

Regarding the proposed pandemic treaty, it is important to acknowledge that it is still a proposed treaty and it remains to be seen what specific provisions it will include. However, it is likely that any decisions made under the proposed treaty would be subject to the approval of the WHO's member states, including the United States.

In any case, it would be up to the U.S. government to decide whether or not to enter into the proposed treaty and cede any sovereign powers under it. Given the constitutional requirements for treaty approval, it is unlikely that the U.S. government would enter into any agreement that would cede a significant degree of national sovereignty without the approval of the Senate.
