Republican governors in nearly half the states condemned the WHO’s pandemic treaty and International Health Regulations in a letter to Joe Biden, warning that they violate ‘our Constitution’s core principles’ and threaten America’s ‘national sovereignty.’
Almost half the governors in the U.S., all of them Republicans, have signed a letter to President Joe Biden declaring that they will resist any efforts of the World Health Organization (WHO) to control public policy in America through its proposed “Pandemic Agreement” and amended International Health Regulations (IHRs).

The 24 governors declared their united opposition to the pending treaty and IHRs because the agreements “would undermine national sovereignty, infringe upon states’ rights, and jeopardize constitutionally guaranteed freedoms.” The Biden administration reportedly plans to bypass the legal requirement that the U.S. Senate agree to a treaty with a two-thirds vote.
The GOP state leaders said that the aim of these agreements is to allow the WHO to “restrict the rights of U.S. citizens, including freedoms such as speech, privacy, travel, choice of medical care, and informed consent, thus violating our Constitution’s core principles.”
The governors asserted that the agreements would “seek to elevate the WHO” from a merely advisory – if already massively influential – body, “to a global authority in public health” able to “compe[l] citizens to comply with WHO directives,” potentially including medical intervention mandates. They noted that the WHO would furthermore be able to unilaterally “declare a ‘public health emergency of international concern’ (PHEIC) in member nations, extending beyond pandemics to include a range of perceived emergencies.”
