FOIA requests to Department of State re: delegation of authority for treaty negotiation and ratification. Amendments to WHO International Health Regulations. | Under the IHR amendment process, the default position is that amendments adopted by "consensus" at the World Health Assembly each May are automatically enforceable in each member state 24 months later. A nation-state government can act to block the enforceability after the World Health Assembly meeting concludes and the delegates go home. But if the nation-state government doesn't do anything — if the executive, legislature and courts remain silent and immobile — the amendments go into force. ● Consensus means without voice, roll call, or any other formal delegate vote. The amendments are passed by the simple mechanism of nobody objecting for a few minutes after someone introduces a resolution on the floor of the assembly. WHO officials and/or each country delegation then must formally notify the federal executives and legislatures that the amendments have been adopted; that the nation-state government has 18 months to file a rejection letter; and that if the rejection letter isn't written and sent, the amendments will enter into force in 24 months. ● In other words, IHR amendments adopted this way automatically go into force in all the WHO member countries 24 months after the WHA acts, unless within 18 months of being notified about the amendments, any individual government moves, speaks and sends a letter saying "No, we don't agree to this."
