WHO is Accountable Act

Bill 119 s 774, also known as the "Prohibition of Funding for World Health Organization Membership Act," aims to prevent the use of funds by the United States government to seek membership in the World Health Organization (WHO) or to provide any assessed or voluntary contributions to the organization until specific conditions are met.

The bill outlines that the United States will not allocate any funds towards seeking membership in the WHO or providing financial support to the organization until the WHO meets certain conditions. These conditions include ensuring transparency and accountability within the organization, addressing any concerns related to the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, and demonstrating a commitment to upholding international health standards.

The purpose of this bill is to hold the WHO accountable for its actions and decisions, particularly in response to global health crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. By withholding funding until the organization meets the specified conditions, the bill aims to encourage the WHO to improve its practices and regain the trust of the United States government. Overall, Bill 119 s 774 seeks to ensure that the United States' financial support for the WHO is contingent upon the organization meeting certain criteria related to transparency, accountability, and adherence to international health standards.
