Concerns About the WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty
Negotiations are underway to create a Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response Accord, a binding multilateral agreement for coordinating pandemic preparedness and response. The accord is set to be finalized in May 2024. However, there are several concerning aspects of the process, including a lack of transparency, the creation of new bureaucratic mechanisms with little accountability, the transfer of power to the World Health Organization (WHO), and the likely inclusion of language that would open the door to the accord being used to promote controversial social issues, including abortion.

The Development Deep State: Sexual Progressivism in USAID

In recent years, the U.S. government, aligned with United Nations agencies, has pressured developing and conservative nations to liberalize their abortion laws and adopt pro-LGBTQ policies and programming. However, a look at the history of U.S. foreign policy reveals that its promotion of these controversial agendas is not new.

Five Problems with the WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty
The Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response Accord, commonly known as the “WHO Pandemic Treaty,” not only extends greater power to the World Health Organization (WHO) to reallocate pandemic resources from member states and targets “misinformation” opposed to its own narrative, but also carries consequences for families and the unborn.
