AUSSOM Funding Restriction Act of 2025

The AUSSOM Funding Restriction Act of 2025 prohibits U.S. funds paid to the United Nations (UN assessed contributions) from supporting the African Union Support and Stabilisation Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM) or activities linked to UN Security Council Resolution 2719. It requires the U.S. Ambassador to the UN to oppose any resolutions funding AUSSOM and mandates annual reports from the State Department on AUSSOM's funding, performance, and efforts to find alternative financing. Exceptions include humanitarian aid delivered independently of AUSSOM, existing voluntary U.S. contributions, and UN Support Office in Somalia (UNSOS) funding. The bill directly affects U.S. financial support for AUSSOM and UN operations related to Somalia, aiming to shift funding responsibility to the African Union and other international partners.
