The super-secret International Health Regulations Review Committee (IHRRC) is scheduled to meet January 9-13, 2023. They plan to submit the amendments on January 15, 2023. THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

For five (5) days, from Monday January 9, 2023 to Friday January 13, 2023, the super-secret International Health Regulations Review Committee (IHRRC) will be conducting face-to-face meetings in Geneva, Switzerland. The purpose of these meetings will be to finalize their report regarding the proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations.

The work done by the IHRRC is “confidential” and they answer directly to the Director General ONLY. Their work is likely to involve editing the 46 page proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations to eliminate the many typographical errors and redundancies that can be found in the current version.

These meetings will NOT be live streamed. The proceedings will not be available to the public. NO public comment period is scheduled. YOUR opinion regarding these amendments is NOT going to be considered. These rules are being negotiated by the members of the International Health Regulations Review Committee, who were chosen, not elected.

January 15, 2023

The self-imposed deadline for the IHRRC to submit its report to the Director General is January 15, 2023. The Director General is then expected to communicate it without delay to the Working Group for amendments to the International Health Regulations (WGIHR) and also to the 194 member nations. By submitting the secretly negotiated document by January 15, 2023, the IHRRC will provide the Director General with at least 6 days to forward the submitted documents to the 194 member nations by the deadline of at least 4 months in advance to the 76th World Health Assembly.

The “official” statements of the World Health Organization have consistently stated that they do NOT plan to adopt the proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations until the 77th World Health Assembly in 2024. See this.

However, if the proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations are submitted to the WHO by January 15, 2023, then they COULD be adopted by the 76th World Health Assembly as early as May 2023.
