No taxpayer funding for United Nations Human Rights Council Act
HR 400 prohibits U.S. taxpayer funding for the United Nations Human Rights Council. It requires the Secretary of State to withhold from annual U.S. UN budget contributions any amount allocated to the Human Rights Council, and bans voluntary U.S. contributions to the Council. Funds withheld under this law are canceled immediately and do not count as unpaid dues to the UN. The bill specifically targets the Human Rights Council, leaving other UN activities unaffected.
