The House is taking up legislation that would slash more than $35 million in annual taxpayer funding to the U.N. Human Rights Council (UNHRC) and its supporting institutions, according to a copy of the bill obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
Rep. Chip Roy (R., Texas), a member of the powerful House Budget Committee, introduced the bill on Monday with the backing of six Republican colleagues. It marks the latest effort by the newly installed House to crack down on foreign institutions known for pushing an anti-Israel and anti-American agenda.
Roy is also the architect of newly passed legislation to sanction the International Criminal Court, another U.N.-aligned entity that is seeking to arrest Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu for alleged war crimes. That legislation overwhelmingly passed the House last week, signaling that Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R., La.) GOP majority is working swiftly to counter the global anti-Israel movement, a priority shared by the incoming Trump administration.
The No Taxpayer Funding for United Nations Human Rights Council Act would immediately prohibit the United States from sending millions in taxpayer cash to the international body. The United States provided roughly $36 million to the UNHRC and affiliates in 2024, according to funding documents, making America the organization’s top patron amid a global campaign to demonize Israel’s war effort. The bill additionally bans the federal government from making “voluntary contributions” to the UNHRC, effectively stopping a future administration from skirting the law by allocating funds in a more informal fashion.
The UNHRC has faced Republican criticism since its creation in 2006, culminating in the Trump administration’s decision to abandon the body in 2018. Outgoing president Joe Biden rejoined the committee in October 2021, bestowing international legitimacy on an organization that primarily singles out the Jewish state for censure and includes human rights abusers like China.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
