Unlikely to pass
This bill is led by the minority party and targets a specific international mission. Without support from the majority party, it is unlikely to move through the Senate.
Key Points
This bill stops the United States from using its regular dues to the United Nations to pay for a peacekeeping mission in Somalia. This mission is run by the African Union to help keep peace and fight terrorist groups.
The plan requires U.S. officials at the United Nations to vote against using these funds for the mission. Lawmakers want to ensure that the African Union follows human rights laws and that other countries pay their fair share of the costs.
There are some exceptions to the ban. The U.S. can still provide food and medical help through independent groups. Also, the government can still provide money if Congress specifically votes to fund the mission in a separate bill.
Every year, the Secretary of State must check if the African Union is meeting international standards for protecting people. They must also report to Congress on whether the mission is actually making Somalia safer and how much money is being spent.
