President Javier Milei will report the Director of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, to the International Criminal Court for "crimes against humanity" committed during the pandemic years from 2020 to 2023. The accusation is based on the consideration that the imposition of quarantines as a preventive measure by WHO led to acts classified as "slavery" and "inhumane acts" towards the global population.
Presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni confirmed Argentina's decision to withdraw from WHO, aligning with the stance taken by the President of the United States, Donald Trump. In this sense, the Argentine government dissociates itself from the international organization, arguing differences in pandemic management.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the current Director of WHO, is a researcher specialized in public health and has held this position since 2017. Previously, he was Ethiopia's Minister of Health and Foreign Affairs, his country of origin. He holds a doctorate in community health and was part of The Global Fund, an organization dedicated to raising funds to combat diseases such as AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis.
Javier Milei's statements regarding WHO point to its officials as responsible for implementing quarantines he considers primitive. In this context, the Argentine government is taking the decision to report Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus to international justice, accusing him of serious human rights violations during the pandemic.
