by Stefan J. Bos, Worthy News Chief International CorrespondentNEW YORK (Worthy News) – The World Health Organization (WHO) has introduced new global health regulations that critics warn will lead to more global surveillance. The recent amendments to the WHO’s International Health Regulations (IHR) come as world leaders gather in New York City for the annual United Nations General Assembly, marking its 80th anniversary. Supporters counter that stronger international rules are necessary to improve preparedness for future health emergencies. The health debate comes as the United Nations itself is under growing scrutiny. The United States is responsible for about 22 percent of the U.N.’s regular budget and some 26–27 percent of peacekeeping assessments.
