World Health Organization's Global Pandemic Treaty Rejection
The World Health Organization's proposed global pandemic treaty was rejected after two years of closed-door meetings in Geneva, Switzerland. Countries were unable to deliver an agreed proposal, with concerns about unelected health bureaucrats deciding major global decisions. The U.S. Republican senators and the House Freedom Caucus urged Biden not to sign off on the draft treaty. Despite the challenges, efforts will continue to reach an agreement for a pandemic treaty.
