The House on Wednesday unanimously passed a Senate resolution introduced by Sens. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) that calls on the U.S. government to oppose United Nations control of the Internet, The Hill’s Floor Action Blog reports.

The 397-0 vote is meant to send a signal to countries meeting at a U.N. conference on telecommunications this week. Participants are meeting to update an international telecom treaty, but critics warn that many countries’ proposals could allow U.N. regulation of the Internet.

The World Conference on International Telecommunications is meeting this week in Dubai, and Walden said representatives of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as well as representatives from Congress are attending to “keep an eye” on the proceedings.

The resolution, S.Con.Res. 50, says it is the sense of Congress that the U.S. government should “continue working to implement the position of the United States on Internet governance that clearly articulates the consistent and unequivocal policy of the United States to promote a global Internet free from government control.”

The Senate passed it in September by unanimous consent.
