From the Republican Governors Association:

In December 2021, the World Health Assembly of the WHO established an intergovernmental negotiating body (INB) to create an international instrument under the constitution of the WHO to strengthen pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response.

The Biden Administration has been participating in negotiations with the World Health Assembly as part of the intergovernmental negotiating body, and the WHO released a second draft of the WHO Pandemic Treaty in October of 2023.

Twenty-four Republican Governors sent a letter on this topic in May 2024, and the letter can be found here.

From the joint letter in May 2024:

Dear Mr. President,

We, as governors of our respective states, stand united in opposition to two proposed instruments currently under negotiation that would purport to grant the World Health Organization (WHO) unprecedented and unconstitutional powers over the United States and its people. These proposed changes could drastically change the role of governors in response to their charge as the state health officials.

These proposed accords aim to significantly alter the amendments to the WHO’s existing
International Health Regulations (IHRs) and introduce a new “Pandemic Agreement” (Treaty) that would undermine national sovereignty, infringe upon states’ rights, and jeopardize constitutionally guaranteed freedoms.

The objective of these instruments is to empower the WHO, particularly its uncontrollable
Director-General, with the authority to restrict the rights of U.S. citizens, including freedoms
such as speech, privacy, travel, choice of medical care, and informed consent, thus violating our Constitution’s core principles.

If adopted, these agreements would seek to elevate the WHO from an advisory body to a global authority in public health. Under the proposed amendments and treaty, the WHO’s Director-General would supposedly gain unilateral power to declare a “public health emergency of international concern” (PHEIC) in member nations, extending beyond pandemics to include a range of perceived emergencies.
