NZ abstains on UN Pandemic Declaration

Pandemic Treaty vote

New Zealand has abstained from voting on a United Nations General Assembly political declaration aimed at strengthening global pandemic prevention, preparedness and response, citing concerns over national sovereignty and international health obligations.

Foreign Minister Winston Peters confirmed the decision on social media, while the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) outlined the Government’s position in a formal statement to the UN. Although New Zealand supports international efforts to improve health systems and pandemic readiness, MFAT emphasised that protecting the country’s independent decision-making on health matters remains a priority.

The Government specifically objected to wording welcoming the adoption of the World Health Organization’s Pandemic Agreement and the 2024 amendments to the International Health Regulations. “It is very important to New Zealand that its sovereign decision making on health is protected,” the statement said. MFAT reiterated that any future decision to sign and ratify the Pandemic Agreement would require a comprehensive National Interest Test under domestic procedures.



It also confirmed that New Zealand had rejected the 2024 amendments to the International Health Regulations because the country was “not currently in a position to accept them”. Despite its reservations about these international instruments, New Zealand maintained its support for the broader objective of improving global preparedness for future pandemics. The Government requested that its formal explanation for abstaining be entered into the UN meeting record.

  1. We need to get out of this hideous abomination the UN yesterday
    The Palace of Strangers
    Predominantly non white beast countries not Nations
    Working against us not for us nor in any way serving our interests
    Who we have absolutely nothing in common with and never will

  2. One of the forms the NZ Government takes is the New Zealand Company with the single silver fern as seen in the NZ Foreign Affairs and Trade Office logo and in the NZ Companies Office logo, which is also the office of the Official Assignee. The Bank of England had been appointed to oversee the management of Estates and collect the rents of the NZ Company. The Official Assignee is part of that office and devises ways to extract finance from us tax slaves and unsuspecting Roman Catholics. The Popes ambassadors are called Apostolic Nuncio’s and there are over 200 installed around the world overseeing this operation. They all have law degrees in Canon Law. In Wellington the office of the Apostolic Nuncio operates from under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Coincidence?

  3. Winston is with the Zionists.

    The Zionists are “against” the J3wnited Nations (the Marxists).

    It’s all kosher theatre to comfuse the goyim.

  4. Take the small victories, guys. This is a good thing. It could have been so much worse if the socialists were still in charge

  5. …would require a comprehensive National Interest Test under domestic procedures….
    Ay, who installs those ‘Tests’? Under whose f***in’ procedure conditions? Better heed the comments ‘bove!

  6. The powers that be missed out on a golden opportunity to ask citizens any number of questions via a referendum held on election day. Such as should NZ ditch the UN, WHO, UK monarchy, Five Eyes, Maori seats, decrease the 5% threshold to gain parliamentary seats, change flag and declare neutrality.

    • Direct Democracy will happen sooner or later.
      How many times do people need to see the same thing happen over and over, again and again, in a never ending loop before they demand change? Unfortunately I suspect it’ll only happen after a catastrophic collapse.
      Party politics is the problem – not the solution.

  7. Get us out of the UN. Get us out of the Bill Gates run WHO. Get us out of the Paris Agreement.
    Nobody asked us if we wanted to be part of these globalist One World Order organisations and they are too frightened to hold a referendum because they know what the result would be.
    Winston Peters for first President of the Republic of New Zealand!

  8. ‘Humiliating’ – former PM Helen Clark slams NZ abstention on UN pandemic vote (NZ Herald)
    Helen Clark needs to f*ck up and f*ck off
    Pushing the globalist communist agenda of extermination population reduction of takeover and control
    And pushing her own barrow
    Like the other buck tooth maggot who won’t shut up and keep her nose out of NZ’s business
    Now residing in a mansion in Seedney Town
    These people have had their day done enough damage and now need to piss off
    I would have to back Winnie on this one although I would never vote for a what not
    Although I don’t vote anyway in being a party to a corrupt manipulated political system based on the Jewish Sanhedrin which controls both sides with affiliates the adversary to YAHWAH Gods Kingdom in earth

    New Zealand Loyal – Health Policy

    Restoring New Zealand’s Health, Wellness, and Sovereignty

    New Zealand’s healthcare system has been compromised by corrupt practices, mismanagement, and a focus on illness maintenance rather than prevention and cure. NZ Loyal is committed to restoring our healthcare system, promoting transparency and accountability, and empowering New Zealanders to take control of their physical and mental health.

    The Problem

    Our current healthcare system:

    Prioritizes pharmaceutical interests over natural health remedies
    Suppresses effective cures and treatments
    Fosters a culture of fear and dependency on medication
    Ignores the impact of environmental toxins on human health
    Overlooks the importance of mental health and wellness

    Solutions

    1. Mental Health and Wellness: NZ Loyal will prioritize mental health support, recognizing the importance of emotional and psychological well-being. This includes increasing funding for mental health services, reducing wait times, and promoting community-based initiatives.

    2. Decentralize Healthcare: Community clinics and hospitals will be established in provincial areas, providing accessible and personalized healthcare.

    3. Integrate Alternative Health Options: All alternative health practices will be considered and made available, ensuring freedom of choice for New Zealanders.

    4. Remove Pharmaceutical Influence: The healthcare system will be freed from the grip of big pharma, ensuring that medical decisions are made in the best interests of patients, not corporate profits. The theoretical basis of mental health care education and training will be switched from the outdated chemical imbalance model to the modern trauma–genic neurodevelopmental model.

    5. Position New Zealand as Mental Health Leader: Ensure that New Zealand scientific researchers and industry are positioned to take advantage of the next generation of psychiatric medicines, in particular psilocybin, MDMA and cannabinoids.

    6. Investigate and Prosecute Crimes: Those responsible for the Covid-19 response, including the disastrous jab rollout, will be held accountable through investigations, prosecutions, and asset-stripping. This includes government officials, health experts, and pharmaceutical companies.

    7. Establish a New Health Framework: A new health framework will prioritize prevention, natural health remedies, patient-centred care, and mental health support.

    8. Environmental Health: We will address the impact of environmental toxins on human health, including the removal of fluoride from water supplies, the ban of 1080 poisoning, and the promotion of organic farming practices.

    9. Transparency and Accountability: All healthcare decisions will be transparent, with clear accountability mechanisms in place. This includes the establishment of an independent health watchdog, responsible for monitoring and investigating healthcare complaints.

    A New Era for New Zealand’s Health

    NZ Loyal is committed to creating a healthcare system that truly serves the people. We will:

    Empower New Zealanders to take control of their physical and mental health
    Foster a culture of transparency, accountability, and integrity
    Promote natural health remedies, prevention, and patient-centred care
    Protect our environment and recognize its impact on human health
    Hold all accountable for disastrous health outcomes, including the Covid-19 response

    Withdrawal from the World Health Organisation

    New Zealand will withdraw from the World Health Organisation, rejecting international dictates that compromise our sovereignty and the health of our people.

    Conclusion

    NZ Loyal’s health policy is built on the principles of transparency, accountability, and empowerment. We will restore New Zealand’s healthcare system, prioritize mental health and wellness, and ensure that our people have access to effective, safe, and affordable healthcare. We will hold all accountable for disastrous health outcomes and promote a culture of wellness, prevention, and patient-centred care.

  10. Only two or three voted NO. Israel and the USA were amongst them. Of abstainers I believe it was only NZ and Paraguay. This looks more or less positive but you know what, I might just be token gesture-ism to placate those still furious about how they were treated during CONVID, here in NZ.

    If something else were to happen it may just be and probably will be the case, they simply fall in line with “everyone else”. The excuse being “this is what the rest of the world is doing”.

    That said, given how much social and economic damage this has done, I doubt they would dare try it on again, in our lifetimes.

  11. For safety, vote establishment globalist regime party next month.
    Great new rules shall be ushered in for the new year and beyond…
    To keep us healthy in 2027, face-diapers will be mandated as compulsory and must be worn when entering public areas such as supermarkets, shops, streets, parks, beaches, forests, grassland and mountain areas. All outdoor swimming will be prohibited. The face-diaper mandate will also apply to all drivers whilst driving and will encompass all roadside areas. New efficient compulsory big-pharma injection programs will proceed with increased vigour and compliance enforcement with stringent new penalties for those who choose not to obey governmental instruction. Retribution and repercussion shall be swift and uncompromising for non-compliance.
    That way we will all be safe next year. Thank you for your vote.
