WHO is Accountable Act

This bill, titled the "WHO is Accountable Act," seeks to prohibit the use of federal funds for the United States to seek membership in or provide contributions to the World Health Organization (WHO). This prohibition would remain in effect until the Secretary of State certifies to Congress that the WHO has met a series of specific conditions. The conditions for resuming funding include the WHO adopting meaningful reforms to ensure humanitarian aid is not politicized and is delivered based on need. It also requires the WHO to be free from the control or malign influence of the Chinese Communist Party , not be involved in a coverup of the CCP's COVID-19 response, and grant observer status to Taiwan . Furthermore, the bill mandates that the WHO must cease diverting supplies to certain countries like Iran, North Korea, or Syria, and implement mechanisms for increased transparency and accountability . Finally, the WHO must stop funding or engaging in messaging on controversial issues deemed non-germane to its directive, such as "gender identity," climate change, and abortion access, and agree that its directives are not legally binding on U.S. citizens or states.
