No referendum, no debate, no democratic scrutiny

Britain signs Pandemic Treaty and IHR amendments - but did anyone know?

By Gary Chappell

THE World Health Organisation’s Pandemic Treaty and the recently amended International Health Regulations (IHR) are quietly shaping up to become the most intrusive shift in global governance we have seen in a generation. And the UK has signed up – without a public debate, a media spotlight, or a single vote in Parliament.

No referendum. No democratic scrutiny. Just a signature behind closed doors.

Let’s be clear: the Pandemic Treaty, still under negotiation, and the IHR amendments, due to come into force this year, don’t technically strip the UK of its sovereignty. But practically? That’s a different story.
