This legislative proposal, titled the "No taxpayer funding for United Nations Human Rights Council Act," aims to completely cease United States financial contributions to the United Nations Human Rights Council. It directs the Secretary of State to implement this prohibition through two primary mechanisms. First, the Secretary must withhold a portion of the annual U.S. contribution to the United Nations' regular budget that corresponds to the percentage allocated to support the Human Rights Council. Second, the bill explicitly states that the U.S. may not make any voluntary contributions directly to the Council. Any funds withheld as a result of this act are to be immediately rescinded and will not be considered arrears owed to any United Nations entity.
