The presidential memorandum directs agencies to withdraw from listed organizations. For UN entities, it says withdrawal means ceasing participation in or funding to those entities to the extent permitted by law; it lists selected UN bodies but does not revoke diplomatic immunity for UN officials generally.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): A later federal executive action partially reduced participation in some UN entities, but it did not deliver the specific immunity-revocation commitment.

Mike Lee sponsored S.3428, the DEFUND Act of 2023, which directly included language revoking UN-related diplomatic and organizational immunities in the United States. However, the bill was only introduced and referred to committee, with no passage or enactment shown. The later 2026 executive action reduced participation in selected UN entities but did not revoke diplomatic immunity for UN officials generally. Because Lee made a serious legislative attempt but the promised immunity revocation was not delivered, this counts as failed with effort credit.
