The unelected global health agency the World Health Organization (WHO) is currently meeting to consider a draft version of a controversial international pandemic treaty that will give the WHO increased surveillance powers.
The new surveillance powers are detailed in Article 10 (“Strengthening and sustaining capacities for pandemic prevention, preparedness, response and recovery of health systems”) and Article 17 (“One Health”) of the draft treaty. They include requirements for the WHO’s member states to “build and reinforce surveillance systems” across both the public and private sector and to strengthen the WHO’s “One Health surveillance systems.”
In its fact sheet on One Health, the WHO cites Covid-19 as one of the main drivers for expanding its One Health approach and notes that the COVID-19 pandemic “put a spotlight on the need for a global framework for improved surveillance and a more holistic, integrated system.”
While the draft treaty doesn’t mention contact tracing and testing, these were two of the main surveillance tools that were used to track the spread of Covid-19 during the pandemic and create a mass surveillance dragnet. Not only did this result in many citizens being forced to use surveillance apps and devices but the data was often abused by governments and third parties.
Not only does this treaty grant the WHO new surveillance powers but it also recognizes “the central role of WHO” and deems it to be “the directing and coordinating authority on international health work.”

The three-day meeting to discuss this draft treaty began on Monday (December 5) and ends Wednesday (December 7). Members of an intergovernmental negotiating body (INB) that was created by the WHO’s decision-making body, the World Health Assembly (WHA), are in attendance and have been tasked with drafting and negotiating this international pandemic treaty.
The INB is projecting that it will finalize this international pandemic treaty by May 2024 and present a final report to the seventy-seventh WHA meeting.
We obtained a copy of the INB’s current proposed timeline for you here.
If it passes, the treaty will be adopted under Article 19 of the WHO Constitution. This provision allows the WHA to impose legally binding conventions or agreements on the WHO’s 194 member states (which represent 98% of all the countries in the world) if two-thirds of the WHA vote for them.
Unlike the lawmaking process within many democratic nations, where officials are elected to implement national laws that reflect the will of the people in the country and voted out if they fail to achieve this goal, the WHO empowers a small number of global representatives, who are often unelected diplomats, to decide on international laws that are imposed on the WHO’s 194 member states.
Before these meetings took place, the WHO demonstrated its love of mass surveillance. It has publicly supported vaccine passports multiple times. The WHO also initially commended China’s response to Covid, which relies heavily on digital surveillance, and only recently changed its stance to criticize China’s zero-Covid policy.
Many powerful nations support this WHO power grab including the United States (US), United Kingdom (UK), Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the European Council (EC) (which represents 27 European Union (EU) member states).
While some politicians in these countries have opposed this treaty, the pushback has so far failed to stop or slow down the progress of this international pandemic treaty and the May 2024 finalization is still very much in play.

The England Star Striker Reads His Bible Daily
The England star striker Bukayo Saka says reading the Bible every night gives him the confidence to go on the pitch knowing God has his back.
Speaking at a press conference shortly after England beat Senegal 3-0 at the World Cup, the 21 year old said God's presence in his life means he doesn't need to be nervous or worry about any outcome.
The Arsenal forward, who is one of the tournament's top scorers so far, was asked whether he was still reading the Bible each night in Qatar :
"Yeah I've been continuing to do that out here. I read my Bible every night.
"For me, it's really important to have the presence of God in me all the time and it gives me more confidence to know that God's plan is perfect, so I can go on the pitch and know that God has my back.
"But the main thing for me is just keeping my faith. You know just having faith in God so I don't need to be nervous or worry about any outcomes because obviously it's my first World Cup. You know I can start worrying about different things and different outcomes, but instead I just choose to put my faith in God."
Asked whether he has a favourite Bible verse, Bukayo Saka said he liked "all of them."
Earlier this year, the striker spoke about how he was taught by his parents to have faith in God and learned about the importance of prayer.
England play the World Cup holders France on Saturday in the Quarter finals of the competition.

Dear Lord,
We are grateful for the way in which Bukayo Saka is sharing his faith. We pray for him to continue to be faithful to you. We pray that the presence of Christian atheletes on the World Cup teams may be a witness to the world and especially the Muslim world. May those who love you let their light shine before men that they too may come to know Your love and truth.
In Jesus' name we pray.
