US taxpayers would stop funding three United Nations migration and refugee agencies.
This bill would stop the U.S. government from sending money to three United Nations agencies that deal with migration and refugees: IOM, UNHCR, and UNRWA. It would also require a government watchdog to study past payments to these groups and audit a State Department loan program. This means U.S. tax dollars would no longer go to these specific international organizations.
Today, the Federal Government can contribute money to the United Nations International Organization for Migration (IOM), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). There is no specific government study or audit mandated for these contributions or the State Department's Refugee Travel Loan Program. If this bill becomes law, the Federal Government would be blocked from making any contributions to IOM, UNHCR, or UNRWA. A government watchdog would be required to study past funding to these groups, audit a State Department loan program, and report findings to Congress within 180 days.
