2 NATIONS AND AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS.

3 The United States shall not make any voluntary or

5 (1) to any affiliated organization of the United

6 Nations which grants full membership as a state to

7 any organization or group that does not have the

8 internationally recognized attributes of statehood, or

9 (2) to the United Nations, if the United Na10 tions grants full membership as a state in the Unit11 ed Nations to any organization or group that does

12 not have the internationally recognized attributes of

13 statehood,

14 during any period in which such membership is effective.

15 SEC. 167. INTERNATIONAL PEACEKEEPING REFORM.

16 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—

17 (1) at the beginning of 1993, there were 13

18 United Nations international peacekeeping oper19 ations in existence, 9 of which were established since

20 1990;

21 (2) in 1987 the United Nations spent

22 $233,000,000 on all international peacekeeping op23 erations, compared to $3,800,000,000 budgeted for

24 this function in 1993;

25 (3) while the United States is currently as26 sessed 25 percent of the regular budget of the Unit-
76

HR 2333 RFS

1 ed Nations and its specialized agencies, the United

2 States had, until 1993, been assessed 30.4 percent

3 for the United Nations peacekeeping operations;

4 (4) by early 1993, the United Nations unilater5 ally increased the United States assessed level for

6 international peacekeeping operations to 31.7 per7 cent to compensate for the breakup of the former

8 Soviet Union;

9 (5) the United States’ share of the United Na10 tions international peacekeeping assessments is sig11 nificantly higher than that of any other member

12 state, regardless of economic strength, location, or

13 potential to benefit from specific peacekeeping mis14 sions;

15 (6) the United States Government faces a pro16 tected period of serious fiscal constraint, particularly

17 in its international affairs budget;

18 (7) there is growing concern in the Congress

19 over the potential for excessive reliance on United

20 Nations international peacekeeping operations for

21 the resolution of local and regional conflicts, includ22 ing concern over the continued viability of existing

23 United Nations peacekeeping operations that have

24 become permanent fixtures in local disputes rather
77

HR 2333 RFS

1 than serving to bring such disputes to resolution;

2 and

3 (8) for fiscal year 1994, the executive branch

4 has requested the creation of a United States Peace5 keeping Emergency Fund to increase the ability of

6 the United States to respond quickly to unforseen

7 peacekeeping emergencies.

8 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the

9 Congress that—

10 (1) the United States should seek to negotiate

11 a reduction of its assessed share for any inter12 national peackeeping operation to its current share

13 of the regular assessed budget for the international

14 organization or entity with jurisdiction over that op15 eration;

16 (2) all United States military assistance,

17 logistical support and in-kind contributions for an

18 international peacekeeping operation should either

19 be fully counted toward the United States assess20 ment for that operation or should be fully reim21 bursed; and

22 (3) regional countries or groups of countries

23 that would receive disproportionate benefit from the

24 establishment of an international operation should
78

HR 2333 RFS

1 voluntarily provide a higher proportionate share of

2 the costs of that peacekeeping operation.

3 (c) RESTRICTIONS ON THE USE OF FUNDS IN THE

4 ASSESSED CONTRIBUTIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL PEACE5 KEEPING ACTIVITIES ACCOUNT.—Notwithstanding any

6 other provision of law, funds authorized under this Act

7 to be appropriated to the Contributions for International

8 Peacekeeping Activities Account at the Department of

9 State may not be made available for the payment of as10 sessed contributions to United Nations international

11 peacekeeping operations in excess of 30.4 percent of the

12 cost of such operations.

13 PART F—MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

14 SEC. 181. WOMEN’S HUMAN RIGHTS PROTECTION.

15 (a) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—The Congress makes the

16 following declarations:

17 (1) The State Department should designate

18 within the appropriate bureau a special assistant to

19 the Assistant Secretary to promote international

20 women’s human rights within the overall human

21 rights policy of the United States Government.

22 (2) The purpose of assigning a special assistant

23 on women’s human rights issues is not to segregate

24 such issues, but rather to assure that they are con-
79

HR 2333 RFS

1 sidered along with other human rights issues in the

2 development of United States foreign policy.

3 (3) A specifically designated special assistant is

4 necessary because within the human rights field and

5 the foreign policy establishment, the issues of gen6 der-based discrimination and violence against women

7 have long been ignored or made invisible.

8 (4) The Congress believes that abuses against

9 women would have greater visibility and protection

10 of women’s human rights would improve if the advo11 cate were responsible for integrating women’s

12 human rights issues into United States human

13 rights policy in ways including, but not limited to,

14 the following:

15 (A) The designated women’s human rights

16 advocate would seek to assure that the issue of

17 abuses against women, along with human rights

18 issues generally, are a factor in determining ap19 propriate recipients for United States bilateral

20 assistance as well as United States votes at the

21 multilateral development banks.

22 (B) The advocate would work with the re23 gional bureaus of the Department of State to

24 devise strategies for the executive branch to

25 bring pressure to bear on governments that en-
80

HR 2333 RFS

1 gage in violence or systematic discrimination

2 against women or fail to afford equal treatment

3 of women before the law.

4 (C) The advocate would, in consultation

5 with the bureau responsible for international or6 ganizations, pursue strategies to increase the

7 visibility and integration of gender-based perse8 cution and violence in multilateral fora includ9 ing, but not limited to, the United States Com10 mission on Human Rights and the Working

11 Group on Torture.

12 (D) The advocate would seek to assure

13 that the United States Trade Representative

14 conduct inquiries and take steps to prevent

15 countries from receiving trade benefits under

16 the Generalized System of Preferences and

17 most favored nation status where governments

18 fail to address violence, systematic discrimina19 tion, and exploitation of women workers.

20 (E) The advocate would seek to assure

21 that the protection of women’s human rights,

22 including womens’ participation in the political

23 process, women’s right to freedom of associa24 tion and expression, and freedom from discrimi25 nation, would be addressed in the context of
81

HR 2333 RFS

1 United States funded programs in the area of

2 democracy including, but not limited to, democ3 racy programs at the Agency for International

4 Development, democracy programs for Eastern

5 Europe funded by the Support for East Euro6 pean Democracy (SEED) Act of 1989, and new

7 programs that may be contemplated.

8 (F) The advocate would seek to assure

9 that United States assistance programs in the

10 area of administration of justice include efforts

11 to redress violations of women’s rights.

12 (G) The advocate would work with the

13 Agency for International Development and the

14 appropriate office at the Department of State

15 to secure funding for programs to meet the

16 needs of women victims of human rights abuses

17 including, but not limited to, medical and psy18 chological assistance for rape victims.

19 (H) The advocate would work to assure

20 United States ratification of the United Nations

21 Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of

22 Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and

23 oversee the preparation of reports pursuant to

24 that Convention.
82

HR 2333 RFS

1 (I) The advocate would seek to upgrade

2 the quality and quantity of information about

3 abuses of women’s human rights in the report4 ing from United States embassies overseas, in5 corporate that information not only in the State

6 Department Country Reports on Human

7 Rights, but also in other public statements and

8 documents including, but not limited to, con9 gressional testimony and private demarches.

10 (b) CONGRESSIONAL NOTIFICATION.—

11 (1) Not later than one year after the date of

12 enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall

13 notify the Congress of the steps taken to create the

14 position described in subsection (a) or to otherwise

15 fulfill the objectives detailed in that subsection.

16 (2) If the United Nations Convention on the

17 Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against

18 Women (CEDAW) has not been submitted to the

19 Senate for ratification, not more than 90 days after

20 the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of

21 State shall notify the Congress, in writing, of the ad22 ministration’s position on the ratification of

23 CEDAW and timetable for submission of CEDAW

24 for congressional consideration and approval.

3 amended—

4 (1) by inserting ‘‘(a)’’ immediately before ‘‘The

6 (2) by adding at the end the following new sub7 sections:

8 ‘‘(b) The Secretary of State may determine that pub9 lication of certain categories of agreements is not required,

10 if the following criteria are met:

12 have been brought into force for the United States

13 after having received Senate advice and consent pur14 suant to section 2(2) of Article II of the Constitu15 tion of the United States;

16 ‘‘(2) the public interest in such agreements is

17 insufficient to justify their publication, because (A)

18 as of the date of enactment of the Foreign Relations

20 agreements are no longer in force, (B) the agree21 ments do not create private rights or duties, nor es22 tablish standards intended to govern government ac23 tion in the treatment of private individuals; (C) in

24 view of the limited or specialized nature of the public

25 interest in such agreements, such interest can ade26 quately be satisfied by an alternative means; or (D)
84

HR 2333 RFS

1 the public disclosure of the text of the agreement

2 would, in the opinion of the President, be prejudicial

3 to the national security of the United States; and

4 ‘‘(3) copies of such agreements (other than

5 those in paragraph (2)(D)), including certified cop6 ies where necessary for litigation or similar pur7 poses, will be made available by the Department of

5 SEC. 184. UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL MEMBER6 SHIP.

7 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following

8 findings:

9 (1) The effectiveness of the United Nations Se10 curity Council in maintaining international peace

11 and security depends on its being representative of

12 the membership of the United Nations.

13 (2) The requirement of equitable geographic

14 distribution in Article 23 of the United Nations

15 Charter requires that the members of the Security

16 Council of the United Nations be chosen by non17 discriminatory means.

18 (3) The use of informal regional groups of the

19 General Assembly as the sole means for election of

20 the nonpermanent members of the Security Council

21 is inherently discriminatory in the absence of guar22 antees that all member states will have the oppor23 tunity to join a regional group, and has resulted in

24 discrimination against Israel.
86

HR 2333 RFS

1 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the

2 Congress that the President should direct the Secretary
