Bill > HR6645

This bill, the "Disengaging Entirely From the United Nations Debacle Act of 2023" or the "DEFUND Act of 2023," proposes to terminate the United States' membership in the United Nations and all its affiliated bodies. It repeals the United Nations Participation Act of 1945 and the United Nations Headquarters Agreement Act, effectively ending U.S. contributions and participation in U.N. peacekeeping operations and conventions. The bill also withdraws diplomatic immunity for U.N. personnel and prohibits the U.N. from occupying U.S. government property. Additionally, it repeals U.S. participation in the World Health Organization. The bill requires the President to obtain Senate approval for any future U.S. membership in the U.N. or its affiliated entities, with a provision allowing the U.S. to withdraw from such agreements.
