North Korea has joined the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Executive Board, a leadership position that will give a leading state sponsor of terrorism a greater say in global public health policy.
Dr. Jong Min Pak, director of the Ministry of Public Health’s Department of External Affairs based in Pyongyang, will represent the brutal dictatorship on the board until 2026.
Officially known as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, the belligerent nation has been ruled by four generations of the Kim family and is known to operate concentration camps for political prisoners.
The WHO Executive Board is comprised of 34 individuals from member states across the globe who serve three-year terms.
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the WHO has increasingly become a household name in the United States.
WHO guidance has repeatedly been pointed to as justifying draconian lockdown policies, vaccination mandates, and other authoritarian government policies.
Gov. Janet Mills and Maine’s public health officials have repeatedly invoked the organization’s work as the rationale for pandemic related policies.
Working in conjunction with the World Economic Forum, WHO began this year publicly floating the idea of a global pandemic treaty that would establish new rules for global cooperation during future pandemics.
WHO strongly denies that the new pandemic treaty would undermine any signing nations’ sovereignty or autonomy, but some Republican lawmakers remain unconvinced.
U.S. Sen. James Risch (R-Idaho) introduced a resolution in February that would prohibit any WHO treaty or resolution from being legally binding on the U.S.
North Korea’s addition to WHO leadership is unlikely to help assuage concerns about the organization’s credibility or the impact that a pandemic treaty might have on the U.S.

Any rational American needs no further example of how incompetent and corrupted the entire UN /WHO cabal has become than the acceptance of one of the worst international pariahs into a supposed “World Health” organization. Not only is North Korea a glaring example of brutal dictatorship, and a well known international criminal thug specializing in cyber theft , counterfeiting and drug smuggling , but a purveyor of nuclear weapons technology to the other well known terror state, Iran.
Both the WHO and its glad handing supporters at the World Economic Forum deserve no acceptance ,let alone internationally binding agreements/treaties , from America.
They are both intentionally destructive to the very existence of America,and the sooner our idiotic elites recognize that the better. If they do not, then they need to be removed from any avenue of influence they maintain in our government.
Is this the same North Korea that espoused the benefits and nutritional value of eating sawdust to its starving people?
