Interest of Justice has sent a notice to representatives of every member nation of the World Health Organization regarding the unlawful manner in which the IHR have been amended.
Thank you Mr. Roguski, I always want to thank you after reading your posts. They give me hope that there ARE some good people out there who are trying to spread the news about what's really going on! God bless and keep you!
Excellent! We have to get out of these organizations for sure. People in government, who makes them our reps for this crap at the UN-WEF? They surely weren't elected to do so. We need to make sure the Traitors are visible! Found something interesting. 911 was on September 11, 2001. China was initiated into the WTO (World Trade Organization) on December 11, 2001. Coincidence? Also, the Trade Center scrap metal was sold to China. There went the evidence! China has taken over since this date!
The International Health Regulations (IHR) are a legally binding international agreement, adopted by the World Health Organization (WHO), that aims to prevent, protect against, control, and provide a public health response to the international spread of diseases."
All but a handful of the members of the UN recognize what is going on in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and Syria as genocide, but the other hundred plus members can't get Israel to stop committing crimes against humanity and war crimes in the name of protecting themselves.
Maybe they could get all the residents in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria to stop threatening and attacking Israel. Have you never heard that the people of the areas and states you mentioned have sworn that they will destroy Israel until ALL its citizens are dead, yet the people of Israel are supposed to just sit quietly and be attacked with no response????
Hog wash!! Treaties between nations are NOT USUALLY intended to control individual citizens within nations! But the WHO is the exception; they're working to gain world dominance by forcing citizens to live and often DIE (i.e. forced to take "vaccines" that are really Bio-weapons intended to murder them) under the control of super-wealthy individuals from the wealthiest nations on Earth.
The logo at the top of this post would have more legitimacy if the red slash went from the upper left to the lower right like it does in the international NO symbol instead of from the lower left to the upper right like the logo on a vehicle manufactured by Volvo.
Abraham Lincoln’s "Government of the people, by the people, for the people."
Is understood and assumed only by a minority. Dictators and other rulers know very well, the people do not participate in the life of city (society), does not feel responsible towards it while living there with a certain security and comfort (say before the awareness of the machiavellian plan). Too busy living, surviving and for those who can still, enjoying some freedom.
The majority think that by electing some people, everything they want to live well will be achieved, which is not at all the case. When are we going to understand that the world does not work like this, whether we want it or not, participation is necessary and mandatory if we want to preserve ourselves from the harmful and deadly decisions as we currently observe.
Why don’t we take our lives into our own hands, stop complaining and start participating actively in rebuilding our devastated societies? If we do not, it is that we agree to let others lead, destroy... our lives. Why speak of democracy if we do not apply it?
OH HELL NO TO THE INSANITY OF 'ONE HEALTH'! As if every unique being were interchangeable parts of a soulless AI machine of total slavery!
If only every country exited the WHO!
KEEP UP THE STRUGGLE! BE VIGILANT! NO RESTING ON LAURELS!
MERS! MONEYPOX! All those WHO/WEF/UN control freaks, BUGGER OFF AND LEAVE US ALONE!
NO TO YOUR CORRUPT MONEY-MAKING RACKETS!
SCREW THE HYPOCHONDRIA GERMAPHOBIC FEAR HYSTERIA! DO NOT CONSENT! Avian flu is for the birds! RESIST!
Can't say this often enough! The Military/Industrial Complex and the Biowarfare/industrial Complex, WEF agenda and the evils assaulting humanity are from one and the same source - it is the 99% against the diabolical GREED of the 0.01% who should not be in charge of anything!
And BIG pHARMa is an arsenal making permanently sickly addicted slaves dependent on their products - the complete opposite of actual health.
SERIOUSLY FOLKS! KEEP FIGHTING! Can't say this often enough! The WHO/UN/WEF are totally criminal entities that must be litigated and dismantled off the face of the earth and its upper level employees tried and jailed. Nothing THE WORLD HELL ORGANIZATION does has any legitimacy.
EQUITY is Orwellian doublespeak for equal ENSLAVEMENT of us proles under the technocratic parasitical malevolent rule by control freak, power-mad psychos. The word EQUITY makes my blood boil whenever I hear it now that I understand its true meaning.
A vast majority of so-called leaders and Public 'Serpents' around the world have been bribed, blackmailed/coerced into serving the interests of their technocratic New World Ordure parasite masters and not We the People.
The world needs a lot more rejections of the UN/WHO's nefarious schemes.
Peddling pure poison! Folks have to wake up to reality: health comes from organic diet, daily exercise and clean living and never from a needle or a pill except in dire, rare traumatic injuries.
Can't say this often enough!
It was NEVER about health! The Powers That Should Not Be were ALWAYS about they want you DEAD or a SLAVE! This is a painful truth to accept but we the people must wake up and fight back! And toxic injections were/are a huge part of their arsenal!
KEEP FIGHTING! All the perps who pushed this greatest crime against humanity, all the way down to the local level, must get their comeuppances!
Proudly ANTI-VAXX! Reiterating for the sake of newbies and to support this post.

Have you read the final chapters of the Bible? I agree with your rant about how things are going now (especially in the USA), but it does console me to know that all this EVIL today was predicted over two thousand years ago. And it means we are now in what the Bible calls the Tribulation, and Jesus Christ comes soon to bring JUDGEMENT to this Earth!!
Unlawful lawmakers..illegal injections..false pretexts..non-existent "virus" threat..a lying military..unfaithful politicians..medical directives from people with no medical background whatsoever..THIS CIRCUS OF INCOMPETENCE IS A CRYING SHAME WORLDWIDE. Thank God for initiatives such as Interest of Justice. And for people who dare stand up and face all this absolute BS. We MUST have a Nuremberg II, this level of absurd theatrics with lethal and crippling consequences NEEDS TO STOP ONCE AND FOR ALL. What the richest few percent of the world have shown us is how they got rich: BY BEING MEMBERS OF AN INTERNATIONAL MAFIA that do not give a hoot about the lives of others. THEY ARE DESPICABLE.
Hi James, well I live in Norway and it seems like we are really the bad guys here! Yes we are! We got the new WEF president, Børge Brende, who is a traitor to his own country due to all the shit they put us thru! And we had Gro Harlem Brundtland who made Tedros possible! She really made us honorable members of WHO! So basicly we are fucked over here! No matter what they say Norway will be Guineapigs in all future! Vaccines and all other shit they can come up with! So what should we do?
I was thinking, if I was 87 years old today I would find my handgun and attend some of the meetings in Davos! Big big headlines in the News the next day! And I will call it selfdefence due to all the shit they give us! After so many years polution from WHO i am convinced any court would agree!
Let's hope Trump has been to buisy to think about WHO at the moment, but we need to remind him of it! So send him a wake up call! Make him understand the bad work WHO actually are performing and all the shit Bill Gates doe's in WHO's name to humanity! Make him aware of the chemtrails to! Because that's where the next pandemic will come from! Fauci is allready talking about it and so is Bill Gates! They have even made the vaccines for it, they say!????? How?
So arrest Bill Gates, Anthony Fauci, Tedros and big pharma's ceo's for the crime they've done to us all!
So today I bow my head and all i can say is: I am so sorry for breeding those moronic norwegians and bring them up to be humanitys worst criminals! If I knew then what i know now there wouldn't be any of them there! So the battle continues! Again to you all, i am so sorry for what they put you thru! On the behalf of the norwegian people: SORRY!!! We didn't know!
Antichrist world order wants to dissolve all sovereignty worldwide by early 2030? We would lose all rights and Antichrist Antichrist world order would make their own rules :-(people are smart but what's going on around them they're ignorant. And the world health organization is evil as well. The world health organization their charter protects them from any prosecution if they do wrong. The devil is in the pudding and people do not see what's going on. And the famous words when something does happen I didn't know that would happen That's how they speak.
On May 1st 2024 I published a small primer on the IHR and Pandemic Treaty in the Libertarian Party of Michigan newsletter.
I explain my understanding of the UN system, the role of the WTO in propelling pandemic obligations, and the tyranny that lurks behind these agreements.
I will be reviewing this legal argument and hope it does hold water. If it does fail I want to remind everyone that individuals have rights whether government upholds them or not. Rights do not come from government.
I wrote:
"Individuals interested in liberty must resist such tyranny if they plan to continue making their own choices for their health, wealth, and property. Ideally, the CDC and DHHS should be defunded, and the US should withdraw from WHO and WTO membership."
Libertarians by nature are already on board any opposition to the centralization of power or any system which uses force or coercion against individuals.
And thank you just the same. I'm reading the IHR (https://iris.who.int/bitstream/handle/10665/246107/9789241580496-eng.pdf) this morning and found one provision which bothers me greatly. On page 61 it says "The United States understands that the provisions of the Regulations do not create judicially enforceable private rights."
This appears to mean that US citizens have no right to a redress of any grievance for what may occur in the implementation of the IHR.
The US note also says it will implement the IHR "as appropriate and in accordance with our Constitution" but during the pandemic emergency the US attacked about every constitutional amendment it has.
The IHR refers to "Member State parties" and so it is my, albeit limited, understanding that a nation which withdraws from WHO membership is no longer party to the IHR.
If the US withdraws from the WHO what is to stop some next administration from rejoining it? Something to ponder.
You appear to be reading the IHR as it exists now, BEFORE the 2024 amendments, which have not yet entered into force. There is a 12-18+ month lag between when they were adopted and when they actually enter into force. Nations can still REJECT them before July 19, 2025. Since you are reading the existing IHR (I applaud you) you might want to review an article that I wrote almost 3 years ago. https://jamesroguski.substack.com/p/break-the-spell
APOLOGIES. I would like to correct my previous reply. It seems like you are reading the version BEFORE the 2022 amendments. Here is the current version, with the 2022 amendments, but not with the 2024 amendments, which have still not entered into force.
Interesting. Thanks! I had not found the 2022 IHR or the proposed amendments when I wrote that article.
Many amendments seem benign, but two stand out. One is the change from 18 to 6 months, for a member state to furnish reservation with or denial of a recommendation, as you pointed out in your past article.
Another is the wording about exemptions for "essential" workers and products.
Is there a draft of the current proposed amendments?
I signed
Thank you for staying in the trenches, James! We appreciate you!
So, who are we supposed to contact? Our legislators, the President, or both?
Thank you Mr. Roguski, I always want to thank you after reading your posts. They give me hope that there ARE some good people out there who are trying to spread the news about what's really going on! God bless and keep you!

"AI Overview
The International Health Regulations (IHR) are a legally binding international agreement, adopted by the World Health Organization (WHO), that aims to prevent, protect against, control, and provide a public health response to the international spread of diseases."
NOT legally binding!!
They are more legally binding than your ignorance of them.
What I don't get @ " legally binding ", is all the treaties in world history that are "legally binding", but get trashed...
All but a handful of the members of the UN recognize what is going on in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, and Syria as genocide, but the other hundred plus members can't get Israel to stop committing crimes against humanity and war crimes in the name of protecting themselves.
Maybe they could get all the residents in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Syria to stop threatening and attacking Israel. Have you never heard that the people of the areas and states you mentioned have sworn that they will destroy Israel until ALL its citizens are dead, yet the people of Israel are supposed to just sit quietly and be attacked with no response????
How is the genocide of over 2 million innocent non-combatants to kill a few thousand members of Hamas morally justifiable?
Those who live under apartheid have the right to resist its tyranny.
Hamas was created by Israel and the US: youtube.com/watch?v=zgy6B_QOYAM
I thought it was financed by Israel, not created by
What part of creation doesn't involve funding?
Most treaties aren't used to control government as much as they do the governments' subjects as the tools of literal terrorists.
Hog wash!! Treaties between nations are NOT USUALLY intended to control individual citizens within nations! But the WHO is the exception; they're working to gain world dominance by forcing citizens to live and often DIE (i.e. forced to take "vaccines" that are really Bio-weapons intended to murder them) under the control of super-wealthy individuals from the wealthiest nations on Earth.
I didn't read anything after the ad hominemistic first two words.
You are either a member of the Amerikan Fascist ruling class or a paid subordinate propagandist!
As least I'm not a volunteer jackass like yourself.
