decades of research has found peacekeeping to be 
highly effective in reducing civilian deaths, short-
ening the duration of conflicts, containing the geo-
graphic spread of war, and reducing the likelihood of 
conflict reoccurrence and sexual and gender-based 
violence. 
(2) The Government Accountability Office 
found in 2006 and 2018 reviews that it is 8 times 
cheaper to financially support a United Nations mis-
sion than to deploy United States military forces. 
(3) Every member state of the United Nations 
is legally required to finance the peacekeeping budg-
et of the United Nations in order to ensure that 
these missions are properly resourced, and assess-
ment rates are renegotiated every 3 years by the 
United Nations General Assembly. The United 
States has consistently voted in favor of these rate 
structure changes, including during the most recent 
round of negotiations in 2021, when United States 
peacekeeping contributions were set at 26.94 per-
cent. 
(4) Since fiscal year 2017, the United States 
has accrued more than $1.28 billion in debt on its 
financial obligations to United Nations peace-
keeping, due to congressional enforcement of a 1994
