assessed contribution—
(1) to any affiliated organization of the United
Nations which grants full membership as a state to
any organization or group that does not have the
internationally recognized attributes of statehood, or

tions grants full membership as a state in the Unit-
ed Nations to any organization or group that does
not have the internationally recognized attributes of
statehood,
during any period in which such membership is effective.
SEC. 167. INTERNATIONAL PEACEKEEPING REFORM.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—
(1) at the beginning of 1993, there were 13
United Nations international peacekeeping oper-
ations in existence, 9 of which were established since
1990;
(2) 
in 
1987 
the 
United 
Nations 
spent
$233,000,000 on all international peacekeeping op-
erations, compared to $3,800,000,000 budgeted for
this function in 1993;
(3) while the United States is currently as-
sessed 25 percent of the regular budget of the Unit-
HR 2333 RFS
ed Nations and its specialized agencies, the United
States had, until 1993, been assessed 30.4 percent
for the United Nations peacekeeping operations;
(4) by early 1993, the United Nations unilater-
ally increased the United States assessed level for
international peacekeeping operations to 31.7 per-
cent to compensate for the breakup of the former
Soviet Union;
(5) the United States’ share of the United Na-
tions international peacekeeping assessments is sig-
nificantly higher than that of any other member
state, regardless of economic strength, location, or
potential to benefit from specific peacekeeping mis-
sions;
(6) the United States Government faces a pro-
tected period of serious fiscal constraint, particularly
in its international affairs budget;
(7) there is growing concern in the Congress
over the potential for excessive reliance on United
Nations international peacekeeping operations for
the resolution of local and regional conflicts, includ-
ing concern over the continued viability of existing
United Nations peacekeeping operations that have
become permanent fixtures in local disputes rather
HR 2333 RFS
than serving to bring such disputes to resolution;
and
(8) for fiscal year 1994, the executive branch
has requested the creation of a United States Peace-
keeping Emergency Fund to increase the ability of
the United States to respond quickly to unforseen
peacekeeping emergencies.
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the
Congress that—
(1) the United States should seek to negotiate
a reduction of its assessed share for any inter-
national peackeeping operation to its current share
of the regular assessed budget for the international
organization or entity with jurisdiction over that op-
eration;
(2) all United States military assistance,
logistical support and in-kind contributions for an
international peacekeeping operation should either
be fully counted toward the United States assess-
ment for that operation or should be fully reim-
bursed; and
(3) regional countries or groups of countries
that would receive disproportionate benefit from the
establishment of an international operation should
HR 2333 RFS
voluntarily provide a higher proportionate share of
the costs of that peacekeeping operation.
(c) RESTRICTIONS ON THE USE OF FUNDS IN THE
ASSESSED CONTRIBUTIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL PEACE-
KEEPING ACTIVITIES ACCOUNT.—Notwithstanding any
other provision of law, funds authorized under this Act
to be appropriated to the Contributions for International
Peacekeeping Activities Account at the Department of
State may not be made available for the payment of as-
sessed contributions to United Nations international
peacekeeping operations in excess of 30.4 percent of the
cost of such operations.
PART F—MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
SEC. 181. WOMEN’S HUMAN RIGHTS PROTECTION.
(a) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—The Congress makes the
following declarations:
(1) The State Department should designate
within the appropriate bureau a special assistant to
the Assistant Secretary to promote international
women’s human rights within the overall human
rights policy of the United States Government.
(2) The purpose of assigning a special assistant
on women’s human rights issues is not to segregate
such issues, but rather to assure that they are con-
HR 2333 RFS
sidered along with other human rights issues in the
development of United States foreign policy.
(3) A specifically designated special assistant is
necessary because within the human rights field and
the foreign policy establishment, the issues of gen-
der-based discrimination and violence against women
have long been ignored or made invisible.
(4) The Congress believes that abuses against
women would have greater visibility and protection
of women’s human rights would improve if the advo-
cate were responsible for integrating women’s
human rights issues into United States human
rights policy in ways including, but not limited to,
the following:
(A) The designated women’s human rights
advocate would seek to assure that the issue of
abuses against women, along with human rights
issues generally, are a factor in determining ap-
propriate recipients for United States bilateral
assistance as well as United States votes at the
multilateral development banks.
(B) The advocate would work with the re-
gional bureaus of the Department of State to
devise strategies for the executive branch to
bring pressure to bear on governments that en-
HR 2333 RFS
gage in violence or systematic discrimination
against women or fail to afford equal treatment
of women before the law.
(C) The advocate would, in consultation
with the bureau responsible for international or-
ganizations, pursue strategies to increase the
visibility and integration of gender-based perse-
cution and violence in multilateral fora includ-
ing, but not limited to, the United States Com-
mission on Human Rights and the Working
Group on Torture.
(D) The advocate would seek to assure
that the United States Trade Representative
conduct inquiries and take steps to prevent
countries from receiving trade benefits under
the Generalized System of Preferences and
most favored nation status where governments
fail to address violence, systematic discrimina-
tion, and exploitation of women workers.
(E) The advocate would seek to assure
that the protection of women’s human rights,
including womens’ participation in the political
process, women’s right to freedom of associa-
tion and expression, and freedom from discrimi-
nation, would be addressed in the context of
HR 2333 RFS
United States funded programs in the area of
democracy including, but not limited to, democ-
racy programs at the Agency for International
Development, democracy programs for Eastern
Europe funded by the Support for East Euro-
pean Democracy (SEED) Act of 1989, and new
programs that may be contemplated.
(F) The advocate would seek to assure
that United States assistance programs in the
area of administration of justice include efforts
to redress violations of women’s rights.
(G) The advocate would work with the
Agency for International Development and the
appropriate office at the Department of State
to secure funding for programs to meet the
needs of women victims of human rights abuses
including, but not limited to, medical and psy-
chological assistance for rape victims.
(H) The advocate would work to assure
United States ratification of the United Nations
Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of
Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and
oversee the preparation of reports pursuant to
that Convention.
HR 2333 RFS
(I) The advocate would seek to upgrade
the quality and quantity of information about
abuses of women’s human rights in the report-
ing from United States embassies overseas, in-
corporate that information not only in the State
Department 
Country 
Reports 
on 
Human
Rights, but also in other public statements and
documents including, but not limited to, con-
gressional testimony and private demarches.
(b) CONGRESSIONAL NOTIFICATION.—
(1) Not later than one year after the date of
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall
notify the Congress of the steps taken to create the
position described in subsection (a) or to otherwise
fulfill the objectives detailed in that subsection.
(2) If the United Nations Convention on the
Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against
Women (CEDAW) has not been submitted to the
Senate for ratification, not more than 90 days after
the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of
State shall notify the Congress, in writing, of the ad-
ministration’s 
position 
on 
the 
ratification 
of
CEDAW and timetable for submission of CEDAW
for congressional consideration and approval.

SEC. 182. PUBLISHING INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS.
Section 112a of title 1 of the United States Code is
amended—
(1) by inserting ‘‘(a)’’ immediately before ‘‘The
Secretary of State’’; and
(2) by adding at the end the following new sub-
sections:
‘‘(b) The Secretary of State may determine that pub-
lication of certain categories of agreements is not required,
if the following criteria are met:
‘‘(1) such agreements are not treaties which
have been brought into force for the United States
after having received Senate advice and consent pur-
suant to section 2(2) of Article II of the Constitu-
tion of the United States;
‘‘(2) the public interest in such agreements is
insufficient to justify their publication, because (A)
as of the date of enactment of the Foreign Relations
Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1994 and 1995, the
agreements are no longer in force, (B) the agree-
ments do not create private rights or duties, nor es-
tablish standards intended to govern government ac-
tion in the treatment of private individuals; (C) in
view of the limited or specialized nature of the public
interest in such agreements, such interest can ade-
quately be satisfied by an alternative means; or (D)
HR 2333 RFS
the public disclosure of the text of the agreement
would, in the opinion of the President, be prejudicial
to the national security of the United States; and
‘‘(3) copies of such agreements (other than
those in paragraph (2)(D)), including certified cop-
ies where necessary for litigation or similar pur-
poses, will be made available by the Department of
State upon request.
‘‘(c) Any determination pursuant to subsection (b)
shall be published in the Federal Register.’’.

U.S.C. 2601 note) is repealed.
SEC. 184. UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL MEMBER-
SHIP.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following
findings:
(1) The effectiveness of the United Nations Se-
curity Council in maintaining international peace
and security depends on its being representative of
the membership of the United Nations.
(2) The requirement of equitable geographic
distribution in Article 23 of the United Nations
Charter requires that the members of the Security
Council of the United Nations be chosen by non-
discriminatory means.
(3) The use of informal regional groups of the
General Assembly as the sole means for election of
the nonpermanent members of the Security Council
is inherently discriminatory in the absence of guar-
antees that all member states will have the oppor-
tunity to join a regional group, and has resulted in
discrimination against Israel.
HR 2333 RFS
(A) by striking ‘‘$100,000’’ and inserting
‘‘$80,000’’; and
(B) by striking ‘‘$50,000’’ both places it

ited in interest-bearing accounts and any interest which
accrues shall be deposited, periodically, in a miscellaneous
account of the Treasury.
SEC. 187. UNITED STATES POLICY CONCERNING OVERSEAS

person against refugee women and children on the
part of armed insurgents, local security forces, or
camp guards.
(d) INVESTIGATION OF REPORTS.—Upon receipt of
credible reports of abuses under subsection (c), the Sec-
retary of State should immediately investigate such re-
ports through emergency fact-finding missions or other
means of investigating such reports and help identify ap-
propriate remedial measures.
(e) MULTILATERAL ORGANIZATIONS.—The United
States Government shall use its voice and vote in the Unit-
ed Nations and its participation in other multilateral orga-
nizations, to promote policies which seek to protect and

require the presence abroad of United States citi-
zens.

HR 2333 RFS
(4) The conduct of the Government of Germany
in using slave labor during the period 1939 to 1945
constituted the acts of an outlaw state and an abro-
gation of treaty obligations under the Convention
Respecting the Laws and Customs of War on Land
(Done at The Hague, 18 October 1907).
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the
Congress that United States citizens who were victims of
war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by the
Government of Germany during the period 1939 to 1945
should be compensated by the Government of Germany.
SEC. 191. TRANSPARENCY IN ARMAMENTS.

ice, and no agreement to transfer in any way any de-
fense article or defense service should be made to
any nation that does not fully furnish all pertinent
data to the United Nations Register of Conventional
Arms pursuant to United Nations General Assembly
Resolution 46/36L by the reporting date specified by
such register; and
(2) if a nation has not submitted the required
information by the reporting date of a particular
HR 2333 RFS
year, but subsequently submits notification to the
United Nations that it intends to provide such infor-
mation at the next reporting date, an agreement
may be negotiated with the nation or a license may
be issued, but the actual delivery of such defense ar-
ticle or service should not occur until that nation
submits such information.
SEC. 192. REVITALIZATION OF THE ‘‘PERMANENT FIVE’’
PROCESS.
(a) CONGRESSIONAL DECLARATIONS.—The Congress
makes the following findings and declarations:
(1) Talks among the five permanent members
of the United Nations Security Council (‘‘Perm-5’’)
first established in October 1991 present the best
opportunity to negotiate qualitative and quantitative
guidelines on conventional arms sales to the develop-
ing world.
(2) Reconvening of the ‘‘Perm-5’’ talks is an
urgent matter of international security.
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the
Congress that the President should seek to restart ‘‘Perm-
5’’ talks and should report to the Congress on the progress
of such talks and the effects of United States agreements
since October 1991 to sell arms to the developing world.

after the first sentence ‘‘Each certification shall provide

or international organization to which the sale would be
made, increase regional tensions or instability, and intro-
duce new or more sophisticated military capabilities into
the region.’’.

larations:

then United Nations Under Secretary General for
Administration and Management, the Honorable
Richard Thornburg, concern has been raised about
the United Nation’s deficiencies in dealing with
fraud, waste, and abuse.
(2) It is the sense of the Congress that the
President should pay urgent attention to persuading
the Secretary General of the United Nations to take
immediate steps to implement the recommendations
HR 2333 RFS
contained in the March 1, 1993, report, giving
prominent attention to the finding that the organiza-
tion urgently needs the establishment of a strong
and independent office of inspector general for the
purposes of internal program and administrative
audit and efficiency review. It is further the sense of
the Congress that the reports and findings of an in-
spector general should be fully available to member
states.
(3) The President should seek to persuade
other international organizations of which the Unit-
ed States is a member to establish independent in-
spectors general, where applicable, in addition to
other steps to develop effective means to eliminate
fraud, waste, and abuse.
(4) It is the sense of the Congress that all pro-
gram and administrative audit and efficiency reviews
should be fully available to the governing bodies of
such organizations.
(5) It is the sense of the Congress that the
President should include as a condition of new mem-
bership (or renewal of suspended membership) in
any major international organization that the inter-
national organization have effective program and ad-
ministrative audits and efficiency reviews which are
HR 2333 RFS
provided to member states as expeditiously as pos-
sible after such reports and findings are made.
SEC. 195. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING ADHERENCE

Nations nor his staff should seek or receive instruc-
tions from any government or from any other au-
thority external to the United Nations; and

General of the United Nations.

accordance with its international obligations and in
keeping with the longstanding humanitarian tradi-
tion of the United States, promote increased respect
internationally for the rights to food and to medical
care, including the protection of these rights with re-
100
HR 2333 RFS
spect to civilians and noncombatants during times of
armed conflict (such as through ensuring safe pas-
sage of relief supplies and access to impartial hu-
manitarian relief organizations providing relief as-
sistance).
(2) RESPONSIBILITIES
OF
ASSISTANT
SEC-
RETARY OF STATE.—The responsibilities of the as-
sistant Secretary of State who is responsible for

promoting increased respect internationally for the

(b) UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON THE RIGHT
TO FOOD.—It is the sense of the Congress that a major
effort should be made to strengthen the right to food in
international law to assure the access to all persons to ade-
quate food supplies. Toward that end, the Secretary of
State, through the United States Representative to the
United Nations, should propose to the United Nations
General Assembly that a Declaration and Convention con-
cerning the right to food be adopted and submitted to the
countries of the world for ratification.
