Earlier this month Global Health Responsibility published an open letter to Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus regarding the procedural obligations in the process to amend the International Health Regulations and how the World Health Organisation is violating international legal obligations.

In 2021, Dr. Silvia Behrendt founded the Global Health Responsibility (“GHR”) Agency as a global health law representative committed to challenging unquestioned narratives. Dr. Behrendt is an Austrian administrative lawyer.  She served as legal advisor to the World Health Organisation (“WHO”) during the H1N1 influenza known as swine flu.  GHR’s open letter dated 6 March 2024 to the World Health Organisation (“WHO”) is signed by Dr. Behrendt as GHR’s director.

On 7 October 2023, WHO released a statement in which WHO declared it would not share the finalised International Health Regulations (“IHR”) amendments with the public and member states four months before the vote on it in May 2024 as WHO’s own rules require.

“To be lawful, any procedures to amend the IHR have to be carried out in accordance with legal requirements set out in the IHR itself,” the open letter to Ghebreyesus dated 6 March 2024 states. “It is your binding legal obligation.”

The open letter goes on the explain that not making the draft available four months before the World Health Assembly (“WHA”) meets in May 2024, “leads to a situation that does not allow for a lawful presentation of a draft resolution on IHR amendments to the 77th WHA.”

“If the WGIHR and the Secretariat do not abide by the legal rules of the IHR amendment procedure, WHO commits an internationally wrongful act,” the letter states, “this malfeasance can be held to account by any of the 196 State Parties.”

“Next to invoking WHO’s institutional responsibility for committing an intentionally wrongful act … a claim for individual responsibility under international law of any person acting on behalf of the organisation could be established.”

The letter names those who could and should be held accountable: Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Dr. Abdullah Asiri, Dr. Ashley Bloomfield, Dr. Sultani Matendechero, Colin McIff, François Rivasseau and Grata Endah Werdaningtyas.

The letter concludes by stating that presenting a draft of the IHR amendments to the WHA meeting “would constitute an intentional violation … and can attract institutional and individual responsibility …  We urge you to immediately issue a clear command to the WGIHR and advise the public that the IHR amendments cannot be adopted at the 77th WHA.”

Below is a copy of GHR Agency’s open letter.  As James Roguski  commented: “I encourage everyone to adapt Silvia Behrendt’s open letter and send it to Tedros and their country’s politicians and officials, demanding that no amendments can be adopted by the 77th World Health Assembly in May 2024.”

Open letter to Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus from GHR Agency

To: H.E. Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus 

Subject:  Open letter on violating a procedural obligation in the amendment process of the International Health Regulations (2005) by the WGIHR 

Salzburg, 6th of March 2024

Dear Dr. Tedros,

Our Agency devotes its work to institutional transparency and responsibility in global health and is highly concerned about the intention of the ‘Working Group on Amendments to the International Health Regulations’ (WGIHR) to submit a draft resolution on the final package of the amendments to the International Health Regulations 2005 (IHR) only at the very start of the 77th World Health Assembly (WHA). 

To be lawful, any procedures to amend the IHR have to be carried out in accordance with legal requirements set out in the IHR itself as the applicable lex specialis regime. The relevant Art. 55 para. 2 IHR reads as follows: “The text of any proposed amendment shall be communicated to all States Parties by the Director-General at least four months before the Health Assembly at which it is proposed for consideration.”

The wording “shall” of Art. 55 para. 2 IHR clearly indicates that it is your binding legal obligation under the IHR to communicate “any” IHR amendments to all States Parties four months in advance of the Assembly. This includes the final version of the amendments proposed by the WGIHR. 

The applicable general rules of treaty interpretation set out in Article 31 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties require that Art. 55 para. 2 IHR must be interpreted in good faith in accordance with the ordinary meaning to be given to the terms of Art. 55 para. 2 IHR in their context and in the light of the IHR’s object and purpose. This confirms that no exception is available for the current situation. Art. 55 para. 2 is the lex specialis to the general rule enshrined in Art. 40 para. 2 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. According to the express will and intent of the drafters of Art. 55 para. 2 IHR, States Parties must be given at least 4 months to consider any amendment prior to the Assembly. This allows the State Parties to thoroughly reflect on the amendments, including their domestic legal and institutional implications, and prevents the State Parties from rushing out of negotiations into a hasty adoption of a resolution. This is all the more important given the unique status of the IHR. As a legal instrument, it automatically binds the WHO’s administration by its status as a resolution. Adopted amendments will also automatically enter into force for all State Parties which do not no-opt out within the required time frame in accordance with Arts. 59, 61 and 62 IHR as well as Art. 22 of the WHO’s Constitution.  

In this instance, the unique legal nature of the IHR has to be recalled. This binding legal instrument has been registered with the UN Secretariat in accordance with Art. 102 of the Charter of the United Nations under the category as a multilateral treaty in the UNTS Volume Number 2509 (p. 79) via the Certificate of Registration No. 56548. Consequently, there is no doubt of its nature as a treaty under public international law binding its States Parties. Consequently, both the State Parties as well as the Secretariat of WHO, composed of the Director-General and the WGIHR, as a subdivision of the Health Assembly, are under a legal obligation to follow Art. 55 para. 2 IHR. 

With regard to the 77th WHA, the deadline to lawfully circulate the proposed amendments to the IHR States Parties by the Director-General in accordance with Art. 55 para. 2 IHR has passed on the 27th January of 2024. This deadline elapsed without any communication from the Director-General to the State Parties of the package of amendments compiled by the WGIHR. As of yet, no final draft version of the amendments has been communicated to the States Parties by the Secretariat.

This leads to a situation that does not allow for a lawful presentation of a draft resolution on IHR amendments to the 77th WHA by the WGIHR. 

Despite the unequivocal legal obligation of WHO to respect Art. 55 para. 2 IHR, the Secretariat and the WGIHR publicly proclaimed their intention to violate international legal obligations incumbent upon them by finalising the package of the amendments for the possible adoption at the 77th WHA, as evidenced duringthe7th meeting of the WGIHR on 5th – 9th of February 2024 and as well as through the schedule of the final 8th meeting on 22nd – 26th of April 2024. 

If the WGIHR and the Secretariat do not abide by the legal rules of the IHR amendment procedure, WHO commits an internationally wrongful act under the UN Draft Articles on the Responsibility of International Organisations. Although these Articles have not yet been officially adopted by States, there is sufficient doctrinal consensus, including state practice, international jurisprudence and scholarly opinion, that would qualify this unlawful administration of the IHR amendment process as a wrongful act of WHO in accordance with the Draft Articles, which attracts institutional responsibility, including cessation, non-repetition (draft Art. 30) and reparation (draft Art. 31) of the WHO. This malfeasance can be held to account by any of the 196 State Parties. 

Next to invoking WHO’s institutional responsibility for committing an intentionally wrongful act by proceeding to propose a resolution on the IHR amendments at the 77th WHA, a claim for individual responsibility under international law of any person acting on behalf of the organisation could be established (draft Art. 66). 

In this regard, the co-chairs of the WGIHR, Dr. Abdullah Asiri of Saudi Arabia and Dr. Ashley Bloomfield of New Zealand as well as the Vice-Chairs Dr. Sultani Matendechero of Kenya, Mr. Colin McIff of the United States of America, Ambassador François Rivasseau of France, and Ambassador Grata Endah Werdaningtyas of Indonesia could and should be held accountable for violating Art. 55 para. 2 IHR by intending to submit the final version of the IHR amendments to the WHA without meeting the deadline for the 4-months notification requirement. 

The public webcast of 2nd of October 2023 (available HERE) provides evidence that the WGIHR is aware of violating Art. 55 para. 2 IHR, as WHO’s Principal Legal Officer, Dr. Steven Solomon, expressly pointed out. His legal opinion that Art. 55 para. 2 IHR can be derogated by the WGIHR’s status as a sub-committee of the WHA is legally invalid, because the IHR are part of WHO’s corpus iuris that cannot be changed at the discretion and convenience of a newly created Sub-Committee of the Assembly unless violating the rule of law. It is evident from the discussions at the 7th meeting of the WGIHR, that they consciously and purposefully progress in violation of Art. 55 para. 2 IHR and negotiate until the approximate start of the Assembly. 

Dr. Tedros, in your honourable function as Director-General, you undisputedly represent WHO and any conduct of a wrongful act is directly establishing WHO’s international responsibility without precluding any potential claims of your individual responsibility. As indicated, doing this in a lawful way in accordance with Art. 55 para. 2 IHR is no longer possible and publicly proclaiming that the IHR can be revised at the 77th WHA is a conduct entailing responsibility on your side. Thereby, you also infringe your general duties as the Director-General of the WHO to ensure that the Organisation and its Secretariat act in accordance with the rule of international law.

Our Agency would like to end this letter with calling on you as the Director-General of the WHO and the Head of the WHO Secretariat to not present a draft resolution on the amendments of the IHR to the 77th WHA. Doing so would constitute an intentional violation of Art. 55, para. 2 IHR and can attract institutional and individual responsibility under the Draft Articles on the Responsibility of International Organisations and any other available mechanisms. Therefore, we urge you to immediately issue a clear command to the WGIHR and advise the public that the IHR amendments cannot be adopted at the 77th WHA.      

Sincerely,  Dr. S. Behrendt

“you WILL BE held responsible”Guaranteed they and their masters will but it won’t be by us. Think we’re just watching so much horrific theatre now, we know they’re lying and are the architects of the madness. However, they can’t turn the clock back now and have to pursue what they’ve wrought, to its bitter end.

This is a massively significant year to them, complete with celestial events which they thought meant the time is now. Superstitious fools that they are.

Steve Eyes does what i think is probably a pretty accurate breakdown on it, in his latest podcast:

I think the WHO will think they are immune from any prosecution because when the charter was written in 1946 it stated they were immune from prosecution, thats why the likes of Gates shovels money into GAVI as its also under the protective legal umbrella that the WHO thinks it enjoys.
If they can break the law trying to create a Law that takes our rights away -and mandates fake vaccines which we know are poisons designed to cull the population.
Then there is no way on this earth they can enforce this madness on people – This will be the Hill I die on, and I wont die from allowing myself to be poisoned by these foul Psychopaths

Same thought and many more will feel the same way.

Any nation can revoke UN/WHO acceptance as they are not sovereign entities and I see this unfolding now and it needs to. The UN/WHO are representations of the globalist one world order constructs and hold no sovereignty except through their puppets like PM Sunak.

They will continue the path they have set, but as I see it I will be fighting for my right to live so I can through my own right kill any other that would try to kill me.

You can forget law and justice defending my rights as such … that is all bullsh!t for the crime after it has been committed. Law and justice is now the appeasement of a crime once committed and a worthless concept as it no longer applies to those in high places.

Don’t get me wrong, I would rather be left alone to die when I am good and ready, but forcing it upon me really changed the rules of the game.

If my life is no longer sacrosanct then neither is anybody elses.

Do think it’s easier for women to understand just how absolute the devastation of the last four years has been. Personally believe that whether this is a simulation of our true home, or the real thing, the situation is beyond any restoration. Total collapse/devastation is what faces us in my opinion.

Also think the remnant who will limp along for a time, won’t think they’re the lucky ones. An article posted on The Expose said that it doesn’t matter whether or not we think there’s a spiritual element to events, the Filth do. Personally think they’ve actually got something right there and it’s what their timetable is based on.

Had a decent understanding of what’s going on for over 40 years, pretty shocked i find it all much less frightening than i thought it would be. Personally think having discovered what it says in the Bible about these times, has helped me cope with what’s happening better than i would without the knowledge.

WHO & Bill Gates’ GMO Mosquitos Released in Brazil has a 400% increase in dengue fever in Brazil & Malaria JABs in Africa that cause Disease

* WHO & Bill Gates walk freely around the World Crossing Borders and Spreading Disease and Destruction Without the Threat of ARREST

Meanwhile, this California man arrested for crossing the border with Freon (HFC) arrested and charged Monday with allegedly Michael Hart, a 58-year-old man from San Diego, pleaded not guilty to smuggling hydrofluorocarbons, or HFCs — commonly used in air conditioning and refrigeration

Bill Gates’ GMO mosquitos Released in Brazil has a 400% increase in dengue fever in Brazil

https://www.naturalnews.com/2024-03-13-bill-gates-gmo-mosquitos-dengue-fever-brazil.html

Now, they are begging for his vaccines JABs. A dengue fever outbreak is sweeping across Brazil after billionaire eugenicist Bill Gates unleashed untold billions of genetically modified (GMO) mosquitos that carry it into the wild.

And now the Brazilian government wants to have loads of Gates’ dengue fever vaccines to stop the spread. Reports indicate that 40 people in Brazil have so far died from dengue fever, according to the nation’s health ministry, while another 265 deaths are being investigated to see if they, too, are linked to the outbreak.

Brazil’s response to the outbreak has not been one of reflecting as to why there has suddenly been a 400 percent increase in dengue fever cases ever since the GMO mosquito release.

Instead, the South American country has decided to purchase 5.2 million doses of a dengue fever vaccine called Qdenga which was developed by Japanese drugmaker Takeda. Another 1.32 million doses will also be sent at no cost. Three Brazilian states have declared emergency status, including Minas Gerais, Brazil’s second-most populous state, as well as the Federal District where the capital city of Brasília is located.

Since the start of 2024, there are already more cases of dengue fever in Brasília than there were during the entirety of 2023. The infection rate is currently 1,625 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, which is far higher than the national average of 170 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. Children aged 10-14 will start receiving the Qdenga injection this week in an attempt to stop the spread of the disease – but will it work?

Bill Gates, WHO announce plans to send Africa millions of malaria “vaccines” JABs that actually cause an INCREASE in disease

https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-07-07-bill-gates-who-millions-malaria-vaccines-africa.html

More than half a million children are said to die every year from malaria in sub-Saharan Africa.

But rather than support them with clean water, nutrition, and improved sanitation, billionaire eugenicist Bill Gates wants to jab them all with questionable malaria “vaccines” instead.

Since Gates has never encountered a situation involving other people in which vaccines or another chemical abomination were not his proposed solution, it is only natural that he has chosen to send malaria-stricken Africa even more pharmaceutical injections.

Anyone who could possibly even entertain the idea of signing over sovereignty to a group of unelected bureaucrats without due process of 8 billion people as the judge, jury, and executioner.

First, these clowns are creating the gain of function bio-weapons then they claim there is a Pandemic. These are sick people period.

Think positive while we’re shafting you!

“No” only works if those that are committing the crimes listen and respect your rights as individuals.

They do not … you are cattle to them.

Now if they come to cart you away I suggest you better fight those that would arrest you because I am telling you now that is how those who accept orders end up in concentration camps.

Die by vaxx or in a camp … both ways you end up dead but by fighting you may live a little longer.

The WHO was been basically hijacked by the WEF which has that documented goal of 90% Global Depopulation. This power transition is the clue on why the WHO on many fronts does not have good directives to save lives as it was originally chartered. Many of the WHO directives / recommendations during COVID can best be explained if the goal was death. The other goal of the WEF as Globalists is global control for which they are using the WHO to gain global control of humanities health as many countries are signed over rights to the WHO to make those determinations and remove peoples ability to even vote for politicians that want what is best for the peoples health. At this point for humanity, the best WHO is NO WHO and the best WEF is NO WEF!

Dr Mike Yeardon, simply says, there has been no pandemic. There was the normal range of illnesses in the early part of 2020 as in any other year. “What was different about 2020 was that all governments, lead by the WHO, engaged in coordinated lying to their citizens”. Your government has already signed your country up to WHO although they lie and tell you otherwise and we can see from the past fake pandemic, what control by WHO means for our future, So, no pandemic. Only the deliberate illusion of one. This was accompanied by changes in medical practise that would predictably result in large numbers of deaths in hospitals, care homes and the community, after vaccines. No one will fail to appreciate the severity of the charges here. Dr. Yeadon’s Recent Message to Support Criminal Investigations in UK https://interestofjustice.substack.com/p/dr-mike-yeadon-introductory-statement?utm_source=substack&utm_campaign=post_embed&utm_medium=email 
So, let me ask you this. Are Trump and Biden our saviors or are they, together with WHO, the future mass murders of 8 billion of us, down to 6 billion now, still to go, bearing in mind that Trump calls himself “The Father Of Vaccines” although he never had one himself and the vaccines purpose was to dehumanize you all to the rights of Cattle – zero Human rights, ever again, as is now the case?

I thought it was gene therapy( bio-weapon) and not a vaccine. When I read the Nurnberg charter under principle vi C I see crimes against humanity which states murder, extermination ,enslavement and other human acts done against any civilian population, or persecutions on political, racial or religious grounds, when such acts are done or such persecutions are carried on in execution of or in connection with any crimes against peace or any war crime. or principle9 vii )complicity in the commission of a crime against peace, or a crime against humanity as set forth in Principle vi is a crime under international law or am I out to lunch

Will it not be helpful if the WHO continue to fault in law on this?

Then all countries can reject this IHR plans completely.
And maybe the whole WHO at that.

Several other organisations who do not approve of the WHOs desire to control health issues such as pandemics, are also sending Tedros letters of LIABILITY for unlawful actions. Not to mention the dogs dinner that resulted from the ‘suggestions’ given by Tedros and the WHO and its billionaire funder, re covid…Masks…Useless…Must get jabbed to save Granny…Lie! Safe and Effective vaccine…LIE! It isn’t a vaccine, so even that word is a lie; it is some kind of gene altering substance. Stops transmission…LIE!
And now they’re wanting to not ‘suggest’ what to do in a pandemic, but DICTATE, have it in law that countries must obey the WHO! They also want to be able to decide WHAT a pandemic is, and to state when there is a ‘Potential Pandemic’…the common cold perhaps? In fact they have apparently tried, and maybe succeeded (?) to change the very meaning of the word pandemic to one that means a highly infectious pathogen, rather than a deadly disease that kills millions. So they could call a cold a pandemic and shut the world down once again! No thank you!
