Australian Health Minister Mark Butler addressed the 77th World Health Assembly (“WHA”) and called for an urgent road map to finalise WHO’s Pandemic Treaty.
These efforts follow the failure of the International Negotiating Body to reach an agreement on the proposed text.
To show his determination and commitment to the cause, Butler called for the “binding” Treaty to be resurrected and progressed as fast as possible not in just one speech at the WHA, but in two.
Please note: WHO was due to present two new texts for adoption at the WHA being held in Geneva, Switzerland, this week: Amendments to the International Health Regulations (“IHR”); and, the Pandemic Treaty, which has also been referred to as the Pandemic Accord, Pandemic Agreement and WHO Convention Agreement + (“WHO CA+”). The Pandemic Treaty is gone and the IHR amendments although they will be presented to the WHA for adoption, have been all but neutralised.

Australia calls for urgent roadmap to finalise “binding” WHO pandemic treaty
Last week it was reported that plans to adopt an international pandemic treaty had stalled, as countries failed to reach an agreement on the final draft before the 77th World Health Assembly (“WHA”), which started in Geneva on Monday.
Australian Health Minister Mark Butler is not taking the news lying down.
In two addresses at the WHA in Geneva this week, Butler called for the “binding” World Health Organisation (WHO) treaty to be progressed as fast as possible, committing Australia to it in principle.
Speaking on behalf of Australia in the second plenary meeting at the WHA on Monday, Butler told those present:
We are also fully committed to concluding the WHO pandemic agreement. Together we have made considerable progress in our shared ambition towards a set of binding international commitments for pandemic prevention, preparedness and response.
We have a strong basis on which to finalise important amendments to the International Health Regulations this week. I urge all member states to redouble their efforts to resolve the remaining challenges and seize this opportunity to agree critical reforms to our global health architecture because we simply cannot afford to fail. (Emphasis mine)

In the ‘Committee A’ session the following day, Butler reiterated Australia’s commitment to the “binding” treaty, stating that countries were continuing to work on iterations of the draft agreement while the WHA is in progress, with a view to voting on next steps before the culmination of the Assembly on 1 June.
Australia remains fully committed to concluding the WHO pandemic agreement.
Together we have come a very long way from where we started just two and a half years ago, with a blank page and a shared ambition – an ambition for a set of binding commitments to prevent another pandemic and to be better prepared to respond, more effectively, and importantly, more equitably when the next pandemic hits. (Emphasis mine)
Butler went on:
Australia worked with a cross-regional group over the weekend and yesterday to table a draft decision reflecting the available options to finalise the agreement.
Based on legal counsel’s advice, the choices for this Assembly are essentially to continue negotiations through the INB [Intergovernmental Negotiating Body] or through another body, then to request the outcome be submitted to this 77th session at a resumed meeting, to a special session or to a future regular session.
He then voiced support for finalising and adopting the IHR amendments, which is the second set of proposed WHO reforms to be voted on at the WHA.

It is notable that Butler repeatedly referred to the treaty as “binding.” However, Senator Katy Gallagher, who represents the Health portfolio in the Senate, previously indicated that it won’t supersede Australian will or law. Senator Gallagher stated in September last year:
Let me be clear that the proposed treaty will not undermine Australia’s sovereignty in respect to health policy and will not operate to prevail over Australian law. The WHO and the UN have no legal authority to force Australians to take any action, and any negotiated commitments would need to be reflected in Australian laws passed by this parliament for them to become legally binding.
For Gallagher’s statement to be correct, “one of two things would have to happen” Dr David Bell, public health scientist and former WHO Medical Officer, told me last year:
Australia would have to opt out of the IHR amendments. You can say we will not take part in these IHR amendments and then the old IHRs will apply. Or, Senator Gallagher fully has the intent of changing Australian law to allow the WHO to have control, when the WHO chooses, over the healthcare of Australians. It’s either one of those two.
Given Butler’s statements to the effect that Australia will adopt both the WHO Pandemic Treaty and the IHR amendments, option two seems most likely. That is, the Australian Government intends to bring Australia’s domestic legislation into line with its binding WHO commitments. Australia has already incorporated key IHR standards into domestic law, such as in the Biosecurity Act 2015 and the National Health Security Act 2007.
A media statement released by the WHO this week confirms the details of Butler’s address to the WHA on 28 May, stating:
WHO Member States agreed to continue to work during the World Health Assembly, which ends on 1 June, with the aim to:
- finalise the package of amendments to the IHR (2005)
- agree the timing, format and process to conclude the pandemic agreement.
Katie Ashby-Koppens, Co-Founder and legal advisor of the non-profit Aligned Council of Australia (“ACA”), said that despite the draft treaty not being ready, “It is clear that Australia’s leadership is fully committed to moving forward with these binding reforms at the fastest pace possible.”
“The Hon Mark Butler’s statements seem to be solely focused on the risk that pandemics are regular occurrences, which lacks any proportionality based on reality. He appears to be acting under a remit that does not have the support or comprehension of the Australian public,” said Ashby-Koppens.
The ACA, which was formed to oppose the WHO reforms, comprises 37 member organisations reaching a total of 1.7 million Australians, indicating that a good number of Australians do not want the reforms.
Ashby-Koppens highlighted that it is not only the treaty draft that has not been finalised – the IHR amendments are also still being drafted while the WHA is in progress, leaving insufficient time for member countries to consider the amendments before voting.
“The IHR amendments are still being workshopped while the WHA is in progress, with agreement not yet being reached on a final draft. Under the WHO’s own rules, the IHR amendments were required to be agreed, finalised and delivered by the Working Group by mid-January 2024,” said Ashby-Koppens.
The news of Australia’s full-throated commitment to finalising the IHR amendments and expediting the “binding” WHO Pandemic Treaty comes after 14 Australian parliamentarians urged the Australian Government to reject the reforms, in an open letter to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
In the letter, parliamentarians from the Coalition (Opposition) and the crossbench expressed “deep concern” at the prospect of committing Australia to the reforms, which they say “pose a significant threat to Australia’s autonomy and independence on the global stage.”
“If adopted, and implemented into Australian domestic law, the World Health Organisation will hold an unacceptable level of authority, power and influence over Australia’s affairs under the guise of declaring “emergencies,” wrote the Senators and MPs.
The WHA started on 27 May and remains in progress until 1 June 2024.

How STUPID does a person have to be to listen to ANYONE from the “WHO” – let alone anyone from Australia? Or ANYONE associated with the “MEDICAL INDUSTRY“??? They can ALL F**K OFF.
C—t !
Who is this Gonad, I wonder who’s ‘Pay Roll’ is he on, Obviously he is from another Planet, not got both Paddles in the Water. Handing over Australia’s future Health care to a Criminally ran Organisation who accepts big Pharma’s failed cast-off passing those failed Medicines off to Third World countries. WHO will ban first choice Medicines giving Substandard Medication instead…., it’s not on……!
This person is awful if he wants to f
give Australian freedoms away If he listened to the people they don’t want to be any part of the evil WHO so wake up and do what we the Australian people want Not what you want as you must be part of the puppets of the WHO
So this Sell-Out-Artist is hankering for a cushy job at the WHO after he leaves politics.
Who would trust these criminals?
First, they suspended the Constitution, a legal impossibility which even a child can grasp. A national constitution is the bat stop, the final position from which there can be no retreat.
They then violated Section 51 of that Constitution, and then the Privacy Act of 1988, followed by the Nuremberg Code.
The PCR test cannot serve their claimed function, as asserted by its inventor, Kary Mullis, and the mRNA jab was never legally trialled. Moreover, a lethal Remdesiver was used on helpless age pensioners even though it was well-known this causes organ shutdown, The entire vaccination scenario was based on lies.
Then the bureau figures showed Australia had a normal death rate until the mRNA vaccinations commenced. There were no covid deaths, just the normal flu and colds. Now the death rate is up 17%, all of these in victims of the jab.
In Japan, the most famous of all oncologists, Prof Fukushima has not pulled any punches. This is medical murder, he said, Well, I want the murderers arrested and required to stand trial. And I want the unelected UN and WHO expelled from Australia. They have no authority here.
I had a look at the ABS numbers of deaths for 2022. While the excess deaths was up 17% overall, the excess deaths for the over-75 male group was up 27%, compared to pre-covid average. While the states were rolling out jabs in 2021, they were also putting in place the euthanasia laws at that time.
In agreement with what you say!
Regarding, REMDESIVIR — I think that it has also been placed into the protocol for treating children including babies.
Remdesivir acquired the alternative name, Run death is near, by medical staff because death often followed after it was given to patients.
Yes, all part of culling the human race! God WILL DEAL WITH THOSE ANTI-CHRISTS that worship Satan!
These Globalists are desperate to get their fake Pandemic treaty over the line as it literally gives them a license to kill us all via mandatory ,kill shots portrayed as ” vaccines ” How stupid do these people think we are ?
We should hang the lot of them
How much are they paying him?
All these SAME players, scammers, rip-off artists and EMBEZZLERS of public monies for the Covid Lockdown Vax Fraud are back and advising us??? They want us to give them the OKAY to do it ALL-OVER again???
These NGOs like the W.H.O. FAILED to save anyone and DEFRAUDED us and allowed us to be depopulated.
These Globalist Bagmen Public-Private-Partnership Bureaucrats FAILED and DEFRAUDED us.
The Big Pharma Cartel knew they were rolling-out an injection tech that not only caused harm but was a depopulation syn/biotechnology, and they did it anyway, so they FAILED and DEFRAUDED us.
Even our local governments took monies to enact “Emergency Measures” and they didn’t do anything but let us get smothered by masks and poisoned by experimental drugs, so they FAILED and DEFRAUDED us.
Face it. They are all a pack of phonies pretending they are helping us when they are really skimming profits and creating a fascist world where killing us is just a means to increase their personal profit. They are pretending to be clever, know-it-all TECHNOCRATS, but their actions prove they really are TECHNO-FASCISTS creating a surveillance state with non-stop depopulation powers. If it is not covid they pedal today, it is fictional “climate change” (actually, The Weather Modification and Geoengineering Fraud), and then next the bird flu that they say requires the slaughter of every healthy bird on the planet (because they insist on continuing to use the FRAUDULENT PCR Diagnostic Test).
They all FAILED to help us — and still are FAILING as they turn their backs on EVERY SINGLE PERSON INJURED BY THE SHOTS and the LOCKDOWNS! They are still attempting to kill our babies and college students with REQUIRED shots, masks etc. All they are doing is attempting to continue their FRAUD — and now they want our permission to EXPAND their FRAUD by giving Them all power through the W.H.O. power grab (deceitfully called ‘treaty’ or ‘agreement’.
NO WAY. They DEFRAUDED us and they must be prosecuted for their crimes. They FAILED to do their jobs properly as civilization requires and they must be FIRED!
Demand the FRAUDSTERS be thrown out of their positions and prosecuted for their FRAUD against the world.

We have almost a complete reversal of Labour’s Communist, Marxist Agenda and Australia you will have to be on the alert for the same to happen to you! It would even be better to Home School than let the Country twist your children! in Schools!
