Bill > S313

This bill, known as the "Stop Funding Global Terrorists Act of 2025," prohibits the United States from making voluntary or assessed contributions to the United Nations for assistance in Afghanistan until the Secretary of State can certify three specific conditions: first, that no U.S. funds are used in cash shipments to Afghanistan; second, that no specially designated global terrorist organization receives funds from these shipments; and third, that no foreign terrorist organization receives funds from these shipments. If the Secretary of State subsequently determines that the original certification was inaccurate, they must revoke the certification and provide detailed justification to congressional committees. The bill defines key terms, including "foreign terrorist organization" (as designated by the State Department under the Immigration and Nationality Act) and "specially designated global terrorist organization" (as designated under specific executive orders related to blocking property and prohibiting transactions with those who support terrorism). The legislation applies specifically to the United Nations' operations in Afghanistan and aims to prevent U.S. funds from potentially supporting terrorist activities through UN cash shipments.
