Stop the goverment taking our rights away signing the WHO pandemic treaty

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

We do not want our rights taken away by the WHO in regards to pandemic situations.
We are a sovereign nation that does not need global interference from global governing bodies.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand that you are concerned about the prospect of the UK entering into an international agreement that affects the rights of UK citizens. However, there is currently no treaty for the UK Government to sign, or refuse to sign.

The World Health Assembly has agreed to start a global process to draft and negotiate a convention, agreement or other international instrument under the Constitution of the World Health Organization to strengthen pandemic prevention, preparedness and response.
