Bill > S2170

This bill, the United Nations Voting Accountability Act of 2025, aims to prohibit U.S. foreign assistance to countries that do not align with U.S. positions in the United Nations. Specifically, the bill prevents financial and military aid to any country that votes against the U.S. position more than 50% of the time in UN General Assembly or Security Council votes during the most recent UN session. The Secretary of State can provide an exemption to this prohibition if a country has undergone a fundamental change in leadership and policies that would likely result in greater alignment with U.S. interests. The bill defines "United States assistance" broadly, covering economic support funds, international military education and training, foreign military financing, and any other monetary or physical assistance, whether provided directly or through international organizations. The bill includes detailed provisions for reporting to Congress and would take effect after the submission of a specific UN voting report by March 31, 2026. The goal is to incentivize countries to more closely support U.S. diplomatic positions in international forums by potentially withholding financial aid from those that consistently oppose American interests.
