Today New Zealand has informed the Director General of the World Health Organisation via New Zealand’s Permanent Mission to the UN in Geneva that in accordance with Article 61 of the International Health Regulations, New Zealand has officially rejected the proposed Amendments.
New Zealand First has always said that any decisions about the health of kiwis should be made from Wellington, not Geneva.
We have fought on your behalf for these IHR amendments to be fully rejected, we made a promise to put the national interests of New Zealanders first, to maintain our sovereign decision making, and to push back on globalist bureaucrats - and we have kept that promise.
