Bill overview
This bill, the Never Again International Outbreak Prevention Act, aims to improve international accountability for preventing and responding to novel virus outbreaks. It establishes a tiered system for evaluating countries’ preparedness and reporting standards, requiring the Department of State to create lists of nations based on their compliance. The bill also mandates presidential action against countries not meeting standards, facilitates an international investigation into the COVID-19 response, and seeks a global ban on wet markets. Furthermore, it waives sovereign immunity for lawsuits against foreign states related to pandemic failures and directs the UN to review the WHO’s response.
