HHS & State Department: The United States Rejects Amendments to International Health Regulations

HHS & State Department: The United States Rejects Amendments to International Health Regulations

Healthcare July 24, 2025

🛑 HHS & State Department: The United States Rejects Amendments to International Health Regulations

July 2025 — In a move that is making global headlines, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the State Department have formally announced that the United States will not accept recent amendments proposed to the International Health Regulations (IHR) — a legally binding framework coordinated by the World Health Organization (WHO) to manage global health threats.





🇺🇸 Why Did the U.S. Say No?

The Biden administration, in consultation with federal health experts and legal advisors, raised serious concerns over sovereignty, transparency, and national interest. The rejected amendments, introduced during recent WHO meetings, reportedly aimed to:

  • Expand the WHO's emergency powers during pandemics
  • Enforce stricter compliance mechanisms on member states
  • Allow the WHO to act without national consent in declared health emergencies

U.S. officials argue that these provisions could undermine America’s ability to make independent public health decisions, especially in times of crisis.

“The health and freedom of our citizens must remain in American hands,” said an HHS spokesperson. “We support international cooperation, but not at the cost of national sovereignty.”

🌐 International Backlash & Support

The rejection has sparked mixed reactions worldwide:

  • Critics claim the U.S. is weakening global pandemic preparedness and ignoring lessons learned from COVID-19.
  • Supporters, including several lawmakers and civil liberty groups, view the decision as a win for constitutional rights and medical freedom.

Several countries, including the U.K. and Australia, have also expressed reservations, though they have not formally rejected the amendments.

🧭 What's Next?

The U.S. remains committed to voluntary cooperation with the WHO and other nations. However, this bold move signals a growing divide between global governance and national autonomy in health policy.

Congress is expected to hold hearings on the decision in the coming weeks, and advocacy groups on both sides are mobilizing for action.

🔍 Bottom Line:
The U.S. is drawing a firm line between cooperation and control. As pandemic policies evolve, so does the debate over who gets to make the final call on public health — the nation, or the world?
