Bill Summary
A BILL To provide for the abolition of certain United Nations groups, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the COI Elimination Act, seeks to abolish certain United Nations groups, specifically the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and in Israel. The bill states that it is the policy of the United States to seek the abolition of this Commission and to combat systemic anti-Israel bias at the United Nations Human Rights Council and other international fora. The bill amends existing law to remove the Commission from a list of United Nations groups and allows for the withholding of 25% of the Commission's budgeted funds unless the Secretary of State certifies that the Commission has been abolished. If the Commission is abolished, the United States would then provide the full amount of withheld funds to the United Nations.
