This bill would block U.S. funding to the United Nations Human Rights Council until the UN Security Council and General Assembly pass a resolution condemning Hamas for its October 7, 2023 attacks on Israel. The legislation was introduced in response to Hamas's assault that killed and abducted Israeli and American civilians. The bill affects both assessed contributions (the U.S. share of the council's regular budget) and voluntary funding that the United States provides to the organization. The bill does not specify an amount or timeline for the funding freeze, meaning it would remain in effect indefinitely unless the specified UN resolutions are passed. The measure targets the UN Human Rights Council specifically and would not impact U.S. funding to other UN operations or agencies.
