A power-seeking agreement between member states/nations and the World Health Organization, this is the 3rd and most recent (to the best of my knowledge) edition of this document, that in their own words is purposed to "control and provide a public health response to the international spread of disease", the operative word being 'control'. This agreement between the 194 member nations and the WHO proposes that they work in tandem to enforce regulations pertaining to any pandemic or potential pandemic scenarios. Topics addressed include international travel control mechanisms, which include surveilling, quarantining, decontamination, and vaccination -- all arguably effective means to isolate and abolish a spreading virus, but also potential affronts to personal liberties which, in the wrong hands, allow for the possibility of horrendous authoritarian abuses. So whose hands will it be in? Well, theirs of course. This agreement provides for the establishment of a panel of WHO "experts" that will issue emergency dictates. These individuals that have control over individual freedoms will naturally not be voted for in a democratic fashion, but rather selected by WHO officials, which amounts essentially to self-appointment. Criteria for what constitutes a health emergency are included (think arbitrary "climate emergencies" announced by "experts" as a point of reference). It is also proposed that only WHO-approved vaccine certificates are to be used. I found their 2005 model for vaccine cards on page 53 interesting as the current cards we see today are fairly similar. This agreement allows for member states to propose amendments, which the United States did on January 18, 2022 (see "Strengthening WHO preparedness for and response to health emergencies -- proposal for amendments to the international Health Regulations [2005]").
