World Council for Health Legal Documents
The World Council for Health (WCH) works with experts to develop legal briefs that present the lawful position on human rights issues and recommendations for asserting and protecting these rights. These legal briefs are written in a way that can be understood by specialised and non-specialised audiences and can be used in education, advocacy, and law initiatives such as investigations, inquiries, and litigation.If you support our work defending our rights through legal briefs, please contribute to help us reach more people around the world and support the development of more public interest legal briefs.
Preventing the Abuse of Public Health Emergencies
Lawful Criteria to Declare a State of Emergenc
Many consider Covid-19 to have been a worldwide ‘Trojan Horse’ event that enabled human rights and freedoms to be trampled, dangerous medical interventions to be normalised, and an unprecedented transfer of wealth to take place from ordinary people to the super-rich.There is deep concern too that this was just a trial run, and that the immanent promulgation of the World Health Organization’s ‘Pandemic Treaty’ and amended International Health Regulations will take these tyrannical measures to an entirely different level. In response to these concerns, the World Council for Health has published a Legal Brief on Preventing the Abuse of Public Health Emergencies.This document explains how governments used the declaration of an unjustifiable state of emergency as a legal instrument to deny people their basic human rights and freedoms, and to grant themselves extraordinary powers.
