S 3717 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Preventing Terrorism at the U.N. Act of 2024

This bill prohibits U.S. funding to the United Nations (including all agencies and entities) until three conditions are met: UNRWA is abolished, the State Department certifies comprehensive counterterrorism vetting of UN personnel in UNRWA's region, and the UN certifies it has eliminated antisemitic or violent content from educational materials. It directly affects U.S. contributions to the UN, which totaled over $7 billion to UNRWA since 1949, and requires a 180-day transition report detailing how UNRWA's services would be replaced by other UN programs or bilateral aid. The bill mandates strict oversight of UN educational content and vetting standards for all UN staff and facilities. The legislation reflects congressional concerns about UNRWA's alleged ties to terrorism and antisemitism, as noted in the bill's findings.
