COVID-19 International Response and Recovery Act of 2020 This bill addresses the role of the United States in the global response to COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019) and future pandemics. Specifically, the bill authorizes measures to facilitate the repatriation of U.S. nationals who are abroad during the COVID-19 pandemic. The bill also provides support for international organizations, including through (1) providing payments to organizations that address global humanitarian needs, and (2) advocating for the establishment of a World Bank Trust Fund to aid countries responding to epidemics and pandemics. Further, the bill establishes measures related to refugee, humanitarian, and migration matters during the pandemic, such as those facilitating humanitarian assistance to countries affected by COVID-19, addressing threats to women and girls, and restricting deportation of foreign nationals. The bill establishes leadership roles for the U.S. Agency for International Development, the State Department, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention should an infectious disease with pandemic potential break out outside the United States. The bill also creates the role of Special Advisor to the President for Global Health Security, who shall coordinate the U.S. response to global health security emergencies. Further, the bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to automatically extend certain immigration-related statuses, such as employment authorizations, that would otherwise expire during the COVID-19 pandemic. The bill also allows a Peace Corps volunteer whose period of service was terminated due to COVID-19 to file for pandemic-related unemployment benefits.

The resolution urges President Trump and his administration to place an immediate moratorium on the deportation of thousands of Southeast Asian Americans whose crimes occurred more than 10 years ago. Finally, the resolution calls for continued pursuit of comprehensive policies that ensure equity and justice for Southeast-Asian-American communities.
France · National Assembly · 4 May 2020
M. Vincent Ledoux appelle l'attention de M. le ministre de l'Europe et des affaires étrangères sur la complexité des missions d'urgence humanitaire au regard du contexte de la pandémie mondiale. Depuis l'apparition du covid-19 en Chine, plus de 3 millions de cas ont été confirmés à travers le monde et plus de 211 000 personnes sont hélas décédées dans 185 pays. Cette crise sanitaire fait craindre une crise humanitaire d'une violence inouïe en raison de son caractère mondial, compliquant ainsi l'acheminement de l'aide dans les zones du monde qui en ont le plus besoin. Il lui demande donc de bien vouloir lui préciser le niveau et les formes de l'effort national en faveur d'une aide humanitaire qui doit être massive. Comment la France participe-t-elle au pilotage et à la nécessaire coordination de cette aide pour renforcer l'efficacité des missions ? On estime à 135 millions le nombre de personnes qui souffrent d'insécurité alimentaire aiguë dans le monde avec l'apparition du covid-19. Sans réponse humanitaire à la hauteur de cette tragédie, ce sont 30 millions de personnes qui pourraient malheureusement mourir de faim durant cette pandémie. Il lui demande de bien vouloir lui indiquer dans quelle mesure et comment la France compte accompagner la volonté du Programme alimentaire mondial d'organiser des ponts aériens. Le moratoire sur la dette des pays africains est une première étape pour éviter une crise économique qui succédera inévitablement à la crise sanitaire. La mobilisation de financements exceptionnels dans l'immédiat et dans la durée sera déterminante pour permettre une lutte efficace contre le covid-19. À tout le moins, il semble indispensable de maintenir ou à défaut d'augmenter l'aide publique au développement. Pour faire face à cette pandémie, il semble que seule une réponse mondiale et multilatérale sera susceptible d'être plus fructueuse. Ainsi, il lui demande s'il envisage de solliciter l'aide financière des agences internationales (PAM, UNICEF sur la malnutrition et l'eau et FAO), mais aussi de nouveaux donneurs comme la Chine et les pays du Moyen-Orient sur du financement multilatéral. Enfin, il lui demande de bien vouloir veiller à ce que ces fonds soient additionnels et non en substitution aux fonds alloués dans la lutte contre les autres maladies comme le choléra ou le paludisme.
