Prohibiting Funding for WHO Regulation Amendments and Contributions.
This bill aims to restrict the U.S. government's ability to propose amendments to international health regulations and pandemic treaties that could undermine U.S. law. Additionally, it blocks funding to the World Health Organization (WHO) until the organization holds China accountable for the COVID-19 pandemic and improves its transparency. For citizens, this means the U.S. seeks to maintain full control over its domestic health regulations and funding of international organizations, potentially impacting global responses to future health crises.
Key points
The U.S. government will be prohibited from using funds to propose amendments to international health regulations (like the International Health Regulations or Global Pandemic Treaty) if these changes would weaken U.S. law.
Contributions to the World Health Organization (WHO) will be halted until the WHO holds China accountable for the COVID-19 pandemic and enhances its impartiality and transparency.
The goal is to ensure the U.S. does not surrender any authorities to the WHO that would supersede existing or new U.S. laws.
