What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "No taxpayer funding for United Nations Human Rights Council Act," seeks to stop money from going to the United Nations Human Rights Council. It instructs the Secretary of State to withhold a specific amount from the United States' regular annual contribution to the United Nations budget. This amount is calculated based on the percentage that would be used to support the Human Rights Council. Additionally, the bill prevents any voluntary contributions from being made to the Council. Any funds withheld through this process are officially rescinded and are not considered money owed to any United Nations entity.
