Nullify the UN, WHO, & WEF in Utah With HB 85

Why it Matters

URGENT: The Utah House of Representatives voted 55-11 in favor of HB 85. This important bill now heads to the Senate for consideration. Contact your state senator, and urge him or her to support HB 85.

Legislation has been introduced in the Utah 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!

House Bill 85 (HB 85), which has the title “State Sovereignty Amendments,” is sponsored by Representative Lisa Shepherd (R-Provo) and Senator Ronald Winterton (R-Roosevelt). It would amend Utah’s statutes to clarify, in part:

A chief executive officer may not declare a state of emergency … exclusively in response to an international organization’s proclamation declaring a state of emergency….

An international organization does not have any power, jurisdiction, or legal authority in the state.

The state, a state agency, or local government may not implement or enforce an international directive.

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 amendments (agreed upon in 2024) 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 senator to support HB 85 and to push back against all other unconstitutional laws at every level of government.
