In a document titled Digital Documentation for Covid-19 Vaccination Certificates: Technical Specification and International Guide the World Health Organization has published international protocol for a Digital Certificate for Vaccination Confirmation, or colloquially called in Western Nations a "Vaccine Passport".

The document, dated August 27 2021, says that this inititive for developing "Digital Documentation of COVID-19 Certificates: Vaccination Status (DDCC:VS)" was created in WHO partnership with The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Rockefeller Foundation. The document has the following Executive Summary:

In the context of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the concept of Digital Documentation of COVID-19 Certificates (DDCC) is proposed as a mechanism by which a person’s COVID-19-related health data can be digitally documented via an electronic certificate. A digital vaccination certificate that documents a person’s current vaccination status to protect against COVID-19 can then be used for continuity of care or as proof of vaccination for purposes other than health care. The resulting artefact of this approach is referred to as the Digital Documentation of COVID-19 Certificates: Vaccination Status (DDCC:VS).

The current document is written for the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic; thus, the approach is architected to respond to the evolving science and to the immediate needs of countries in this rapidly changing context; for this reason, the document is issued as interim guidance. The approach could eventually be extended to capture vaccination status to protect against other diseases. The document is part of a series of guidance documents (see Fig. 1) on digital documentation of COVID-19-related data of interest: vaccination status (this document), laboratory test results, and history of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed this guidance and accompanying technical specifications, in collaboration with a multidisciplinary group of partners and experts, in order to support WHO Member States in adopting interoperable standards for recording vaccination status. The audience of this document is therefore Member States and their implementing partners that want to put in place digitally signed vaccination records.

Some critics of the plan link the "Vaccination Passport" to an international economic group named The World Economic Forum which has advocated for a worldwide economic "reset" of the socioeconomic systems the world uses in a project called The Great Reset. It is alleged by these critics that the Vaccination Passport will lead to an international World ID, with all of finance and communication reduced into this World ID. The critics continue to propose that this World ID would implement a centralized economic power removed from any sovereginty of the Nations of the World, and would implement an Authoritarian Defacto-World Government that remains in power through its centralized authority of every form of barter, trade, and interaction. This is allegedly to be performed using a model similar to the Social Credit System as implemented by the Communist Party of China. It is also alleged that this "Vaccination Passport" is against the Nuremberg Code on Medical Experimentation, which is one of the results of the Nuremberg Tribunal of 1949. However, the Nuremberg Code is not international treaty but UN Charter, and as such suing over this claim in UN member nations has significant controversy at this time.

Some supporters of the plan advocate for this under this for the alleged health benefit it would provide their local communities. If more people are vaccinated with Emergency Use Authorization gene therapies then proof of this must be enforced to barter, trade, sell, and interact. The only advocates of the plan seem to be of two groups, the first being injected individuals who have had their immune systems severely reduced by the vaccination. This group believes others must also be injected with the vaccination to protect the local community from the spread of SARS-Cov-19. The second group seems to consist entierly of Governmental Employees, both elected and unelected, and the general pundintry.

"The Great Reset" is expected to begin acceleration sometime in September of 2021, with an overall goal towards the year 2030 to completion.
