Question:
If I understand Jon's warning correctly:
Somehow there is a move now to switch from treaty to agreement as suggested by:
//
Article 26. Relationship with other international agreements and instruments
1. The interpretation and application of the WHO Pandemic Agreement shall be guided by the
Charter of the United Nations and the Constitution of the World Health Organization.
2. The Parties recognize that the WHO Pandemic Agreement and the International Health
Regulations (2005) should be interpreted so as to be compatible and mutually reinforcing.
So now we have amendments to the existing 2005 regulations - AND now the treaty
morphed into an agreement.
That would be a dodge around Senate approval of treaties per the U.S. Constitution.
Am I reading this correctly?
That is also my understanding.
