Why the Secrecy?
The WHO is keeping information hidden from We the People of the World. So what else is new?

On page 6 of the “Basic Documents” of the World Health Organization, it says…
Informed opinion and active co-operation on the part of the public are of the utmost importance in the improvement of the health of the people.
On pages 98-99 of the “Basic Documents” of the World Health Organization, it says…
Principles
5. WHO’s engagement with non-State actors is guided by the following overarching principles. Any engagement must:
(h) be conducted on the basis of transparency, openness, inclusiveness, accountability, integrity and mutual respect.
The principles listed above are what the World Health Organization is supposed to do.
What the WHO actually does, well that’s a little bit different:
“NO DOCUMENTS FOR THE MOMENT”
(If you click on the image above and find that the WHO has finally gotten around to publishing the proposed amendments, please let me know directly (+1 310-619-3055) or post it in the comment section below this article.)
As of October 28, 2022, 4 weeks have passed and the World Health Organization is still keeping the proposed amendments submitted by 14 member nations a secret.
It seems that the 18 technocratic “experts” appointed by Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus to the International Health Regulations Review Committee are given access to documents, but We the People of the World are not allowed to see those documents.
The delegates from every one of the 194 member nations have access to these proposed amendments. They are also keeping them secret.
Freedom of information requests have been submitted from people in Australia, Finland, New Zealand, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. Email requests have been sent to members of the International Health Regulations Review Committee (IHRRC) as well as to over a dozen members of the United States delegation to the WHO.
The World Health Organization finally published the report of the initial meeting of the International Health Regulations Review Committee (IHRRC) that was held on October 6, 2022.
An excerpt from the report is below:
WGIHR is the Member States “Working Group on Amendments to the International Health Regulations (2005)”, established also through Decision WHA75(9) as a continuation of the Working Group on Strengthening WHO Preparedness and Response to Health Emergencies, (WGPR) with a revised mandate to work exclusively on consideration of proposed targeted amendments to the International Health Regulations (2005), consistent with decision EB150(3) (2022), for consideration by the Seventy-seventh World Health Assembly in 2024;
Legal Counsel reviewed the mandate of the Committee as provided for by the Decision WHA75(9) and the relevant provisions of the IHR and reminded all members that they are acting solely in their capacity as individual experts and not on behalf of any government or organization. The requirement to keep all proceedings confidential was also recalled.
Legal Counsel reminded the Committee that they are constituted as an Expert Committee under the WHO Rules and procedures for Expert Advisory Panels, as provided for in the Basic Documents of WHO.
Committee members were invited to have a first read of the proposed amendments, and to consider a potential categorization of the proposals into the following categories:
“quick wins” (proposals that may not pose any controversy and are helpful for clarifications and better implementation of the articles);
“convergent proposals” (amendments proposed for the same article which are complementary or similar in scope);
“divergent proposals” (amendments for the same article which are different in scope, and/or controversial);
“new articles” (amendments that propose introduction of completely new text).
Another category might include the proposed amendments that address issues currently being considered within the scope of the new convention, agreement, or other international instrument on pandemic preparedness and response, currently being considered by the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body.
THE LATEST AVAILABLE INFORMATION:
NOTES:
The existing IHR can be downloaded HERE.
The original Biden Amendments proposal can be downloaded HERE.
The original Biden Amendments proposal addressed the exact same list of 12 Articles that are listed above, plus a 13th (Article 59) which is not included in this proposal because it was already amended on May 27, 2022. I do not yet know if the current proposal by the United States is exactly the same as the original.
IT BETTER NOT BE!!!
Armenia and Namibia submitted comments only, possibly because they are party to the submissions submitted by the Eurasian Economic Union and the WHO Africa Region Member States, respectively.
It is unclear whether Brazil’s proposal stands alone or if Brazil is also a party to the proposal submitted by MERCOSUR.
It certainly seems like a lot of changes have been proposed.
On page 4 of the “Terms of Reference” the possibility of “reopening the instrument” is clearly mentioned as a possibility.
It sure would be nice if the WHO would publish the proposals so We the People of the World could know what they are planning to do to us in the future.

Why the Secrecy?
Who else spotted the irony of the quote by the vax shill so-called Dalai Lama
Another sad guru 🧟♀️
Second point. Next to the notion of invasive/non invasive we need the notion of "shared storing, or rather lack of privacy. may be this is dealt with later in the article. I'll get back to this later once article finished
