Require Senate approval for WHO pandemic agreements
Deb Fischer cosponsored legislation that would treat any convention or agreement by the World Health Organization’s negotiating body on pandemic prevention or response as a treaty. Under the proposal, such an agreement would require the advice and consent of a supermajority of the Senate. Fischer said the measure is intended to prevent the WHO from unilaterally determining what the United States can do during a pandemic.
Context: The Senate bill was proposed legislation; the passage reports that the House passed its version, not that the bill became law.
In their own words
It would require that any convention or agreement by the negotiating body related to pandemic prevention or response is deemed a treaty.
