The new Pandemic Treaty will empower the WHO with unlimited prerogatives, nullifying the sovereignty of states and the principle of self-determination, a pro-Russian extremist party claims.
The health dictatorship – the narrative repeated in a loop by sovereigntist propaganda
NEWS: A terrible blow to civil rights and freedoms will expectedly take place over May 27 - June 1 in Geneva. It is a global coup long in the making that will affect the 194 signatory states of the WHO, which will be called upon to cast their votes on the Global Pandemic Treaty, a document they will subsequently have to apply at international level over the next 12 months: “International health regulations (IHR)”. Each specific agreement will be legally binding. The WHO will have the power to declare pandemics at its own discretion. It will have all the power to dictate the measures states must implement, the lockdowns to be put in place, the vaccines to be administered, the speeches to be made and the comments to be censored and brought to justice, with drastic repercussions for those who campaign against this medical dictatorship, which carries on the crimes of the 2020 pandemic, the people to be hospitalized or displaced. I repeat, the WHO’s decrees will be mandatory. There will be no suggestions or recommendations, because the pandemic continues, after the announced results of the social experiment COVID-19, the genocide of humanity. The WHO asserts itself as the sole holder of scientific truth and any criticism against the organization will be classified as disinformation, subject to censorship and punished with sanctions, and possibly with criminal action.
NARRATIVE: The World Health Organization will trump citizens’ rights and freedoms.
CONTEXT: The electoral messages of the sovereigntist parties are getting more radical as the European Parliament election approaches. Their favorite topics include anti-European and anti-Western narratives that demonize the international organizations Romania is a part of, such as the EU or NATO, but even the UN or the WHO.
Following the perceived failure to manage the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic and recognizing the inability of the international community to respond to the pandemic with a show of solidarity, the World Health Organization convened a special session in December 2021, establishing a “intergovernmental negotiating body”, open to all members and charged with developing and negotiating a convention, an agreement or any other international instrument designed to prevent, prepare for and respond to future pandemics. Subsequently, in March 2023, WHO member states started negotiations for this global instrument, based on a preliminary document designed to protect countries and communities from future pandemic emergencies. Its final form is to be adopted during the 77th meeting of the WHO titled “All for health. Health for all”, which will take place in Geneva, over May 27 - June 1, 2024. The event provided propaganda conspiracists with an opportunity to launch new attacks against the organization, which the world government allegedly uses as a tool to reduce the population of the planet and/or control it altogether.
The false narratives related to the WHO gained a powerful momentum with the implementation of preemptive health measures during the COVID-19 pandemic, although they had been circulated before as well, accusing the organization of seeking to impose a globalist agenda aimed at enslaving the population of the planet and establishing an unnatural social order. Aligning themselves to the narrative claiming that occult forces are preparing a Great Health Reset, such disinformation themes are promoted by various publications or individuals from the ultra-religious conservative area, but they are also taken over and capitalized on by politicians to boost their election rating, or by people close to Russia and its foreign policy.
Senator Diana Şoşoacă, the only real spokesperson of the party she represents, made a name for herself advocating this type of speech and taking part in protests against the so-called “medical dictatorship” during the pandemic. Designated the political personality of 2021 by the Russian propaganda publication Sputnik, she continuously distinguished herself over the years through various scandals involving her name, but also by promoting false theses and disinformation narratives very much resembling those promoted by Russia. Diana Șoșoacă spread certain disinformation narratives and fake news regarding the coronavirus and the anti-COVID vaccine (such as the one dismantled by Veridica according to which the vaccine allegedly induces sterility across three generations), and made efforts to combat the vaccination campaign. She equally promoted sovereigntist and anti-EU theses (including denial of the war in Ukraine) which have also been featured in numerous disinformation and false narratives stemming from Russia. In March 2023, senator Șoșoacă submitted a legislative proposal in Parliament demanding the annexation of territories belonging to Ukraine, followed shortly by another bill on the unification of Romania with the Republic of Moldova, projects which the “Robert Lansing Institute” think tank described as part of an operation of the Russian military secret services in Romania, which Diana Șoșoacă is reportedly linked to. The senator constantly visits the Russian Embassy in Bucharest, where she claims to be negotiating Romania's neutrality and peace between Russia and the West, thus promoting the Kremlin's narrative that the Russian armed forces are fighting against NATO in Ukraine.
PURPOSE: To promote sovereigntist and anti-Western rhetoric, to stir and amplify social unrest for election purposes.
WHO agreements and treaties cannot be forcefully implemented
WHY THE NARRATIVE IS FALSE: Under its statute, the World Health Organization does not have the “capacity” to force member states to comply with agreed public health measures, even if they are stipulated by treaties. The development of guidelines and recommendations is one of the basic functions of the WHO. These documents are designed to help governments make informed decisions about whether, when and how to take specific action, such as clinical interventions, carrying out diagnostic tests or introducing public health measures with the aim of achieving the best possible outcomes for individual or collective health. Therefore, even in the event that such an agreement is adopted, its mandatory transposition into national law requires the approval of the national Parliaments, needs, at least in democratic states. Therefore, such a decision remains the sovereign prerogative of any state, and the WHO does not have any instrument at its disposal to impose its health policies by force, but only to support these countries in their voluntary implementation.
In fact, the Director-General of the WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said, in this context, that “the claim that the accord will cede power to WHO is quite simply false. It’s fake news”. The WHO chief said member countries can decide for themselves the wording and scope of any global agreement within the WHO. “No country will cede any sovereignty to the WHO”, the Director-General emphasized.
Article 16 in the draft agreement, titled “Whole-of-Government and Whole-of-Society Approaches at the National Level”, states that member states “are encouraged” to adopt mutually agreed policies, but that “Each Party shall establish, implement and adequately finance an effective national coordinating multisectoral mechanism with meaningful representation, engagement and participation of communities, in accordance with its national context”, as part of a whole-of-society response in decision-making, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, as well as effective feedback mechanisms. At the same time, the document also states that each member state “should strengthen its national public health and social policies” in order to facilitate a rapid and resilient response. Moreover, the document makes no mention about mandatory vaccination, the imposition of lockdowns or the displacement of people mentioned in the article.
