Republican Party senators have introduced a bill, called the DEFUND Act, to withdraw the United States (US) from the United Nations (UN).

The respective press release posted on Republican Senator Mike Lee's website states that the DEFUND Act will repeal the United Nations Participation Act of 1945.

In addition, if the DEFUND Act is passed, the US will cease all forms of its financial support to the UN.

Also, the DEFUND Act prohibits any US involvement in UN peacekeeping operations.

In addition, the DEFUND Act formalizes the US withdrawal from the World Health Organization and other UN conventions, and revokes diplomatic immunity for UN officials within the US.

Furthermore, the DEFUND Act sets stringent conditions for any future US engagement with the UN, requiring Senate approval with explicit withdrawal provisions.
