Bill > HR600

This bill, titled the "WHO is Accountable Act," would prohibit the United States from using any federal funds to seek membership in or provide financial contributions to the World Health Organization (WHO) until the Secretary of State certifies that the organization meets eight specific conditions. These conditions include ensuring humanitarian aid is not politicized, preventing Chinese Communist Party influence, addressing concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic response, granting observer status to Taiwan, avoiding diversion of medical supplies to certain countries (Iran, North Korea, Syria), increasing organizational transparency, and ceasing funding or messaging on controversial issues like gender identity, climate change, and abortion. The bill would also require the WHO to agree that its directives are not legally binding on U.S. citizens or individual states. Essentially, the legislation aims to hold the WHO accountable by setting stringent prerequisites for U.S. engagement and funding, reflecting concerns about the organization's governance, political neutrality, and policy focus.
