This bill would block U.S. contributions to the United Nations for assistance in Afghanistan until the Secretary of State certifies that no American funds are being sent as cash shipments to Afghanistan and that no terrorist organizations are receiving money through these payments. The restriction applies to both mandatory assessed contributions and voluntary contributions the U.S. makes to the UN. If the Secretary of State later determines that a previous certification was inaccurate, they must revoke it and explain the error to Congress. The legislation targets concerns about terrorist financing in Afghanistan and requires ongoing oversight and verification by the State Department before U.S. funding can resume. The bill does not specify a dollar amount or timeline, but instead ties funding resumption to the Secretary of State's ability to verify compliance with these conditions.
