Referred to House (sub)committee
This bill would suspend all U.S. contributions to the UN until the president made a slew of certifications pertaining to the UN’s fairness and funding sources. Even if the president was able to make all the requisite certifications, the United States would not be able to provide more than 18% of the UN’s total budget and 25% of UN peacekeeping operations.
Although none of the required certifications directly related to Israel, the bill included a section of “findings”that included a criticism of the “constant and disproportionate use of UN time and money to harass Israel.”
