No WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty Without Senate Approval Act

This bill, titled the "No WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty Without Senate Approval Act," primarily seeks to ensure that any international instrument concerning pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response developed by the World Health Assembly (WHA) is subject to Senate ratification. Specifically, it mandates that any such convention or agreement resulting from the work of the International Negotiating Body (INB) be deemed a treaty, requiring the advice and consent of the Senate with a two-thirds vote. The legislation includes findings detailing past U.S. concerns with the World Health Organization (WHO), including its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and perceived lack of independence from certain member states. It expresses a Sense of Congress that a significant segment of the American public is skeptical of the WHO and that the broad scope of proposed pandemic agreements warrants treaty status. The bill asserts that any such agreement unable to garner the necessary two-thirds Senate approval should not be implemented by the United States, and also states a policy of unequivocally supporting Taiwan's full participation in the WHO.
