James Roguski, TO ALL WORLD LEADERS:
There are many additional reasons for all 196 parties to the IHR to reject the 2024 IHR amendments: For complete details, visit:

https://substack.com/@jamesroguski
I strongly encourage you to formally exercise your authority under Article 61 of the International Health Regulations and IMMEDIATELY notify the World Health Organization that you have decided to REJECT the 2024 amendments to the International Health Regulations on behalf of the people of your nation.
July 19, 2025 is the deadline for heads of state of the 192 of the 196 nations that are parties to the International Health Regulation to reject the 2024 amendments.
Because 4 nations (The Islamic Republic of Iran, Netherlands, New Zealand and Slovakia) rejected the 2022 amendments to the IHR (which shortened the time period to reject future amendments from 18 to 10 months), the deadline for these 4 nations to reject the 2024 amendments is March 19, 2026.
Amendments to the International Health Regulations
https://apps.who.int/gb/ebwha/pdf_files/WHA77/A77_ACONF14-en.pdf
Article 1
“pandemic emergency” means…
a public health emergency of international concern that is caused by a communicable disease and:
(i) has, or is at high risk of having, wide geographical spread to and within multiple States; and
(ii) is exceeding, or is at high risk of exceeding, the capacity of health systems to respond in those States; and
(iii) is causing, or is at high risk of causing, substantial social and/or economic disruption, including disruption to international traffic and trade; and
(iv) requires rapid, equitable and enhanced coordinated international action, with whole-of-government and whole-of-society approaches.
“relevant health products” means
those health products needed to respond to public health emergencies of international concern, including pandemic emergencies, which may include:
• medicines,
• vaccines,
• diagnostics,
• medical devices,
• vector control products,
• personal protective equipment,
• decontamination products,
• assistive products,
• antidotes,
• cell- and gene-based therapies,
• and other health technologies;
HOW MUCH IS THIS GOING TO COST? (Article 44)
Dear President Trump,
On the very first day of your Presidency (January 20, 2025) you signed Executive Order 14155 which began the 1-year process of having the United States terminate its membership in the World Health Organization.
Sec. 4. Global System Negotiations. While withdrawal is in progress, the Secretary of State will cease negotiations on the WHO Pandemic Agreement and the amendments to the International Health Regulations, and actions taken to effectuate such agreement and amendments will have no binding force on the United States.
HOWEVER, YOU HAVE NOT YET OFFICIALLY NOTIFIED THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION THAT YOU WISH TO REJECT THE 2024 AMENDMENTS TO THE INTERNATIONAL HEALTH REGULATIONS.
PLEASE TAKE OFFICIAL ACTION TO FORMALLY AND PUBLICLY REJECT THE 2024 AMENDMENTS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE THE JULY 19, 2025 DEADLINE AND ENCOURAGE OUR ALLIES TO JOIN YOU IN THIS ACTION.
Also, on February 4, 2025 you signed Executive Order #14199 which directed the State Department to conduct a review of “all conventions and treaties to which the United States is a party.”
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/withdrawing-the-united-states-from-and-ending-funding-to-certain-united-nations-organizations-and-reviewing-united-states-support-to-all-international-organizations/
The deadline for the above review is August 3, 2025 (180 days after February 4, 2025). Unfortunately the deadline to reject the 2024 amendments to the IHR (July 19, 2025) will pass before the State Department is obligated to deliver their report to you.
I humbly request that you direct the State Department to prioritize their review of the 2024 amendments to the International Health Regulations in order to prepare an official letter notifying the World Health Organization of your decision to REJECT the 2024 amendments AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, but definitely before the July 19, 2025 deadline.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
James Roguski
