DEFUND Act of 2023
The DEFUND Act of 2023 would require the U.S. to completely withdraw from the United Nations and all its affiliated bodies. It repeals laws enabling U.S. UN membership, terminates U.S. participation in all UN activities (including peacekeeping), and bans all U.S. funding for the UN or its specialized agencies like the World Health Organization. The bill mandates closing the U.S. Mission to the UN, withdrawing from UN headquarters agreements, and ending diplomatic immunity for UN personnel in the U.S. Finally, it prohibits future U.S. re-entry into the UN without explicit Senate approval.
