Nullify the UN, WHO, & WEF in West Virginia With SB 689

Why it Matters

Legislation has been introduced in the West Virginia Legislature to nullify the United Nations (UN), World Health Organization (WHO), and World Economic Forum (WEF). It is imperative that legislators enact this bill and protect our God-given freedoms!

Senate Bill 689 (SB 689), titled the State Sovereignty Act of 2025, is sponsored by Senator Chris Rose (R-Maidsville) and three other senators. It declares:

(a) The World Health Organization, the United Nations, and the World Economic Forum have no jurisdiction in this state. The state of West Virginia and its political subdivisions, including, but not limited to, counties, cities, towns, precincts, water districts, school districts, school administrative units, or quasi-public entities, shall not be compelled to engage in the enforcement of, or any collaboration with the enforcement of, any requirements or mandates issued by the World Health Organization, the United Nations, or the World Economic Forum.

(b) Any requirements or mandates issued by the World Health Organization, the United Nations, or the World Economic Forum shall not be used in this state as a basis for action or to direct, order, or otherwise impose any requirements whatsoever that are contrary to the constitution and laws of this state. This includes, but is not limited to, mandates for masks, vaccines, medical testing, or the gathering of any public or private information about the state’s citizens or residents. Any requirements or mandates issued by these foreign entities shall have no force or effect in this state.

The policies emanating from the UN, WHO, and WEF are antithetical to the American form of government. For example, the UN’s Agenda 21/2030 plan seeks total control and regimentation of the entire planet, and prominent examples of its implementation include the global war on farmers, carbon-capture pipelines, and the transition toward “green” energy. The global body’s “Summit of the Future” advocated more power for the UN.

Furthermore, the WHO is planning a major power grab to allow it to impose draconian restrictions, such as vaccine passports and other “health” measures, at a global level. This comes in the form of a proposed global “pandemic treaty” and in possible amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR). In addition to advancing medical tyranny, these changes would empower international bureaucracy at the expense of American sovereignty.

Article VI also states, “This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof … shall be the supreme Law of the Land.” (Emphasis added.) State legislators are required to uphold and implement only those laws that are “made in Pursuance” to the Constitution. Any laws not “made in Pursuance thereof” are therefore not the supreme Law of the Land and, as such, state legislators are under no obligation to enforce or carry out their provisions. Instead, they should interpose, or nullify, such laws within the boundaries of their state.

This stipulation applies to the treaty-making power. Treaties (including U.S. membership in the UN and WHO) must also be subject to, and bound by, the limitations of the Constitution.

In a letter dated September 7, 1803, then-President Thomas Jefferson wrote, “I say the same as to the opinion of those who consider the grant of the treaty making power as boundless. If it is, then we have no Constitution.” This was further affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States, in Reid v. Covert (1957).

Urge your state legislators to support SB 689 and to push back against all other unconstitutional laws at every level of government.
