No WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treaty Without Senate Approval Act
This bill requires the U.S. government to treat any World Health Organization (WHO) pandemic prevention or response agreement as a treaty needing Senate approval with a two-thirds vote. It directly affects U.S. foreign policy decisions regarding WHO agreements, ensuring the Senate must consent before such treaties take effect. The bill mandates that any WHO pandemic agreement - like the one adopted at the 2025 World Health Assembly - must follow the constitutional treaty process, not be implemented as a less formal executive agreement. This policy change aims to address concerns about WHO's pandemic management and independence, as highlighted by congressional findings.
