The World Assembly,
UNDERSTANDING that the threat of global pandemics is a grave and serious concern of all nations.
NOTING that high population densities and the advent of technology enabling affordable and long distance travel has greatly increased the spread of contagious disease,
BELIEVING that it is the duty of all nations and the World Assembly to enact measures that ensure the safety of the general populace from lethal contagions,
DEFINING "contagious pandemic" as disease that lacks geographical confinement, is caused by infectious agents and spreads globally at an alarmig rate
FURTHER DEFINING "serious disease" as disease that causes irreversible impairment and/or death in the majority of the infected
Hereby,
EXPANDS the mandate of the World Health Authority (WHA) to include the following:
(1) Establishment and maintenance of global laboratories and clinical outposts with the sole purpose of researching on contagious diseases and development of vaccination against said threats.
(2) Establishment of a standing commission to oversee the development of evidence-based recommendations on vaccination programs.
(3) The right to impose mandatory vaccination programs in WA nations if
(3.1) a contagious pandemic that threatens global stability or causes serious disease is ascertained and
(3.2) a corresponding vaccination has been deemed effective and of justifiable risk.
(4) The right to order restrictions on borders and travel in case of a contagious pandemic that causes serious disease.
(5) The right to allow nation states governments to suspend civil liberties pertaining to the right to free moement (if applicable) of the infected in case of a global pandemic that causes serious disease.
REQUIRES that member nations implement the policies demanded by the WHA.
It is a fairly extreme proposition (I am assuming many nations will have problems with points (3) & especiall (5)) but I am open for changing
