All it takes for the government to start enforcing the terms of a treaty is the signature of any officer of that government. It does not require ratification, pursuant to "customary international law." See Patrick Henry Ratified: The Treaty Power, It's Perils and Portents.

Infectious Disease ping - The World Health Organization Pandemic Treaty is missing the itemized details
As the cliche goes, and whic is appropriate: "The devil is in the details "
The timeline for adoption is fast coming
We should Exit the WHO, altogether !

(From the article):" The latest draft of the Pandemic Treaty proposed by WHO’s Intergovernmental Negotiating Body is an admission of failure
so significant that they are suggesting nations sign an incomplete document."

“They know that they cannot show us the details of what they really want to do.
So, they are proposing an incomplete, watered-down agreement in the hopes that they will be able to make decisions in the future;
in the hopes that we won’t be paying attention,” James Roguski has concluded."

"Please note: WHO’s Pandemic Treaty has also been referred to as the Pandemic Accord, Pandemic Agreement and WHO Convention Agreement + (“WHO CA+”).
In this article, we refer to it as the Pandemic Agreement."

"The ninth meeting of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Body (“INB”) started on 18 March and ended on 28 March.
“WHO Member States agreed to resume negotiations aimed at finalising a pandemic agreement during 29 April to 10 May”
at the resumption of INB9, a statement released by the World Health Organisation (“WHO”) said."

(My Comment): The WHO already facilitated and delayed international response to the covid-19 virus when it was first discovered
and has done little to nothing to discover and hold responsible the source of the virus.
As another cliche: "Fool me once shame on You. Fool me twice shame on me !"
Given the recent history of the United Nations funding and supporting NGO's who are funding illegal immigrants at the southern border, their reputation is well earned.

I read through this entire article and did not see anything that was obviously nefarious or that we are supposed to assume is nefarious. It looks like a basic legal document, attempting to set forth terms and definitions.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with creating a framework for international cooperation on pandemic preparedness and response. In fact, there are international treaties governing how different countries cooperate on a number of issues. Unless you are trying to spread misinformation that cooperating in order to attempt to prevent the emergence of pandemics and deaths of millions of people is somehow nefarious, this is a big nothingburger.
