AI Summary: This is a policy document - specifically an Executive Order - that details the United States' withdrawal and reduction of funding to certain United Nations organizations. This regulation withdraws United States participation and funding from the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC), UN Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). The order directs the Secretary of State to conduct a comprehensive review of U.S. participation in these organizations and all international intergovernmental organizations within 180 days, evaluating whether they support U.S. interests. Specifically, the regulation mandates that no funds will be used to contribute to UNRWA, directs the withholding of U.S. proportionate share of UN Regular Budget funding for UNHRC, and requires the Secretary to notify UN leadership of these actions. The order also instructs the Secretary to analyze potential anti-Semitism or anti-Israel sentiment within these organizations and provide recommendations about potential further withdrawals from international organizations, conventions, and treaties that might be contrary to U.S. interests.
