SEC. 153. DESIGNATION OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE RE-
SOURCES COORDINATOR.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—
(1) the post-Cold War era is placing increasing
demands on limited Federal foreign language re-
sources available to support diplomacy, intelligence,
military preparedness, international security, and
global economic competitiveness goals;
(2) the absence of a single interagency mecha-
nism to coordinate Federal foreign language resources
represents a significant weakness in the United States
Government’s ability to mobilize and direct existing
foreign language assets in support of national foreign
policy goals; and
(3) there is a growing need for coordination of
all Federal agencies maintaining and utilizing for-
eign language resources—
(A) to increase cost-effectiveness through
sharing of resources;
HR 2333 EAS
(B) to identify foreign language needs and
priorities required to support foreign policy ob-
jectives; and
(C) to identify foreign language resources
capable of supporting global economic competi-
tiveness goals and to facilitate private sector ac-
cess to those resources.
(b) POLICY.—It is the sense of the Congress that—

responsibility under section 701(a) of the Foreign
Service Act of 1980 (22 U.S.C. 4011(a)) for training
and instruction in the field of foreign relations to
meet the needs of all Federal agencies, should take the
lead in this effort; and
(2) in order to avoid other Federal agencies du-
plicating the facilities and training provided by the
Secretary of State, a goal set out in section 701(b) of
the Foreign Service Act of 1980 (22 U.S.C. 4011(b)),
the Secretary of State should call upon other Federal
agencies to share in the joint management and co-
ordination of Federal foreign language resources.

Secretary of State shall appoint a Foreign Language Re-
sources Coordinator (in this subsection referred to as the

priate agencies of Government—
(i) to strengthen mechanisms for sharing of
foreign language resources; and
(ii) to identify Federal foreign language re-
source requirements in the areas of diplomacy,
intelligence, military preparedness, international
security, and other foreign policy objectives; and
(B) for making recommendations to the Sec-
retary of State as to which Federal foreign language
assets, if any, should be made available to the private

tiveness goals.

(a) PURPOSE.—It is the purpose of this section to en-
courage the assignment of Foreign Service personnel with
language proficiency at the S4/R4 level (full professional
proficiency, as tested by the Foreign Service Institute) to
posts or positions in which their language capabilities are
effectively utilized.
(b) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—
(1) the Department of State’s Office of the In-
spector General noted, in its July 1993 report, that
existing foreign language proficiency among members
of the Foreign Service is not adequately weighed in
the assignments process, and that existing skills are
not adequately utilized, and
(2) the Department of State’s Office of the In-
spector General urged that the Department has legiti-
mate requirements at overseas posts that can only be
satisfied through S4/R4 level skills, and recommended
that certain overseas positions be designated at the
S4/R4 competence level.
HR 2333 EAS
(c) PROGRAM.—(1) Pursuant to section 702 of the For-
eign Service Act of 1980 (22 U.S.C. 4022), the Secretary
of State shall direct the establishment and apportionment
of a certain number of overseas positions, at the S4/R4 level,
in each of a majority of overseas missions, as follows:
(A) For missions using world languages with
more than nine Foreign Service Officer positions as-
signed by the Department of State, 8 percent of posi-
tions and not less than one position will be estab-
lished at the S4/R4 level.
(B) For posts using hard or incentive languages,
with more than nine Foreign Service Officer positions
assigned by the Department of State, the number of
S4/R4-designated positions shall be at least four per-
cent of positions, and not less than one position.
(2) Overseas posts and the Department of State shall
retain flexibility to apportion S4/R4 language-designated
positions within respective overseas posts.
(3) Assignment of personnel with full professional pro-
ficiency shall be completed not later than September 30,
1995.
(d) REPORT TO THE CONGRESS.—The Secretary of
State shall report to the Congress not later than September
30, 1994, describing the progress made toward implementa-
tion of this section.
HR 2333 EAS
requires that the members of the Security Council of
the United Nations be chosen by nondiscriminatory
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 in-
herently discriminatory in the absence of guarantees
that all member states will have the opportunity to
join a regional group, and has resulted in discrimi-
nation against Israel.
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress
that the President should direct the Secretary of State to
request the Secretary-General of the United Nations to seek
immediate resolution of the problem described in this sec-
tion. The President shall inform the Congress of any
progress in resolving this situation, together with the sub-
mission to Congress of the request for funding for the ‘‘Con-
tributions to International Organizations’’ account of the
Department of State for the fiscal year 1995.
SEC. 163. REFORMS IN THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZA-
TION.
(a) SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the
Congress that United States contributions to the World
Health Organization (WHO) should be utilized in the most
effective and efficient manner possible, particularly for the
HR 2333 EAS
reduction of diseases and disabilities in developing coun-
tries. The President shall direct the United States represent-
atives to the World Health Assembly, the Executive Board,
and the World Health Organization to monitor the activi-
ties of the World Health Organization to ensure that such
organizations achieve—
(1) the timely implementation of reforms and
management improvements, including those outlined
in the resolutions of the 46th World Health Assembly
related to the external Auditor (WHA 46.21), the Re-
port of the Executive Board on the WHO Response to
Global Change (WHA 46.16) and actions for Budg-
etary Reform (WHA 46.35); and
(2) the effective and efficient utilization and
monitoring of resources, including—
(A) the determination of strategic and fi-
nancial priorities; and
(B) the establishment of realistic and meas-
urable targets in accordance with the established
health priorities.
(b) REPORT.—Not later than 180 days after the date
of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall submit
to the Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee of the
Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives a
report assessing the World Health Organization’s progress
HR 2333 EAS
in implementing the reforms identified in subsection (a)(1)
and (2).
SEC. 164. REFORMS IN THE FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGA-
NIZATION.
In view of the longstanding efforts of the United States
and the other major donor nations to reform the Food and
Agriculture Organization and in view of the findings of the
ongoing investigation of the General Accounting Office, it
is the sense of the Congress that—
(1) the United States should use the opportunity
of the 1993 election of a new Director General of the
Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to press
for long-needed organizational and management re-
forms; and
(2) it should be the policy of the United States
to promote the following reforms in the Food and Ag-
riculture Organization:
(A) Decentralization of the administrative
structure of FAO, including eliminating redun-
dant or unnecessary headquarters staff, increased
responsibilities of regional offices, increased time
for consideration of budget issues by member
states, and a more meaningful and direct role for
member states in the decision-making process.
HR 2333 EAS
(B) Reform of the FAO Council, including
formation of an executive management commit-
tee to provide oversight of management.
(C) Limitation of the term of the Director
General and the number of terms which an indi-
vidual may serve.
(D) Restructuring of the Technical Coopera-
tion Program (TCP), including reducing the
number of nonemergency projects funds through
the TCP and establishing procedures to deploy
TCP consultants, supplies, and equipment in a
timely manner.
SEC. 165. REFORM IN BUDGET DECISIONMAKING PROCE-
DURES OF THE UNITED NATIONS AND ITS
SPECIALIZED AGENCIES.
(a) ASSESSED CONTRIBUTIONS.—For assessed con-
tributions authorized to be appropriated by section 102(a)

cies for any calendar year if the United Nations or any
such agency has failed to implement or to continue to im-
plement consensus-based decisionmaking procedures on
budgetary matters which assure that sufficient attention is
paid to the views of the United States and other member
HR 2333 EAS
states that are the major financial contributors to such as-
sessed budgets.
(b) NOTICE TO CONGRESS.—The President shall notify
the Congress when a decision is made to withhold any share
of the United States assessed contribution to the United Na-
tions or its specialized agencies pursuant to subsection (a)
and shall notify the Congress when the decision is made
to pay any previously withheld assessed contribution. A no-
tification under this subsection shall include appropriate
consultation between the President (or his representative)
and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Rep-
resentatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the
Senate.
(c) CONTRIBUTIONS FOR PRIOR YEARS.—Subject to
the availability of appropriations, payment of assessed con-
tributions for prior years may be made to the United Na-
tions or any of its specialized agencies notwithstanding sub-
section (a) of this section, section 162(a) of the Foreign Re-
lations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1992 and 1993
(Public Law 102–138), section 405 of the Foreign Relations

eral is keeping the head of each specialized agency,
the Secretary General, the members of the Security
Council, and the members of the General Assembly
fully informed about problems, deficiencies, and the
necessity for, and progress of, corrective action;
(5) the United Nations has established measures
to protect the identity of, and to prevent reprisals

SEC. 167. AMERICAN PARTICIPATION IN MANAGEMENT OF
UNITED NATIONS.
(a) Funds authorized in section 102(a) of this Act for
fiscal year 1995 for the assessed contribution of the United
States to the United Nations are authorized to be appro-
priated only upon a certification by the Secretary of State
to the appropriate committees of the Congress that the posi-
tion of Under Secretary-General of the United Nations for
Administration and Management is being held by a citizen
of the United States as of October 1, 1994.
(b) Subsection (a) may be waived by the Secretary of
State only upon a certification to the appropriate commit-
tees of the Congress that—
(1) such waiver is in the national interest of the
United States, including the reason or reasons it is
in our interest; and
(2) the Secretary of State has confidence the in-
dividual holding the position of Under Secretary-Gen-
eral of the United Nations for Administration and

tions.
(c) If a waiver and certification is made pursuant to

tributor to the United Nations.
(d) It is the sense of the Congress that the position
of Under Secretary-General of the United Nations for Ad-
ministration and Management should be held by a citizen
of the United States.
SEC. 168. POLICY WITH RESPECT TO THE ESTABLISHMENT
OF AN INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT.
(a) 
CONGRESSIONAL
FINDINGS.—Congress 
finds
that—
(1) the freedom and security of the international
community rests on the sanctity of the rule of law;
(2) the international community is increasingly
threatened by unlawful acts such as war crimes, geno-
cide, aggression, crimes against humanity, terrorism,
drug trafficking, money laundering, and other crimes
of an international character;
(3) the prosecution of individuals suspected of
carrying out such acts is often impeded by political
and legal obstacles such as amnesties, disputes over
extradition, differences in the structure and capabili-
ties of national courts, and the lack of uniform guide-
lines under which to try such individuals;
(4) the war crimes trials held in the aftermath
of World War II at Nuremberg, Germany, and Tokyo,
HR 2333 EAS
Japan, demonstrated that fair and effective prosecu-
tion of war criminals could be carried out in an
international forum;
(5) since its inception in 1945 the United Na-
tions has sought to build on the precedent established
at the Nuremberg and Tokyo trials by establishing a
permanent international criminal court with juris-
diction over crimes of an international character;
(6) United Nations General Assembly Resolution
44/39, adopted on December 4, 1989, called on the
International Law Commission to study the feasibil-
ity of an international criminal court;
(7) in the years after passage of that resolution
the International Law Commission has taken a num-
ber of steps to advance the debate over such a court,
including—
(A) the provisional adoption of a draft Code
of Crimes Against the Peace and Security of
Mankind;
(B) the creation of a Working Group on an
International Criminal Jurisdiction and the for-
mulation by that Working Group of several con-
crete proposals for the establishment and oper-
ation of an international criminal court; and
HR 2333 EAS
(C) the determination that an international
criminal court along the lines of that suggested
by the Working Group is feasible and that the
logical next step would be to proceed with the
formal drafting of a statute for such a court;
(8) United Nations General Assembly Resolution
47/33, adopted on November 25, 1992, called on the
International Law Commission to begin the process of
drafting a statute for an international criminal court
at its next session; and
(9) given the developments of recent years, the
time is propitious for the United States to lend its
support to this effort.
(b) SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the
Congress that—
(1) the establishment of an international crimi-
nal court with jurisdiction over crimes of an inter-
national character would greatly strengthen the inter-
national rule of law;
(2) such a court would thereby serve the interests
of the United States and the world community; and
(3) the United States delegation should make
every effort to advance this proposal at the United
Nations.
HR 2333 EAS
(c) REQUIRED REPORT.—Not later than February 1,
1994, the President shall submit to Congress a detailed re-
port on developments relating to, and United States efforts
in support of, the establishment of an international crimi-
nal court with jurisdiction over crimes of an international
character.
SEC. 169. INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT PARTICIPA-
TION.
The United States Senate will not consent to the ratifi-
cation of a treaty providing for United States participation
in an international criminal court with jurisdiction over
crimes of an international nature which permits represent-
atives of any terrorist organization, including but not lim-
ited to the Palestine Liberation Organization, or citizens,
nationals or residents of any country listed by the Secretary
of State under section 6(j) of the Export Administration
Act of 1979 as having repeatedly provided support for acts
of international terrorism, to sit in judgement on American
citizens.
SEC. 170. PROTECTION OF FIRST AND FOURTH AMEND-
MENT RIGHTS.
The United States Senate will not consent to the ratifi-
cation of any Treaty providing for United States participa-
tion in an international criminal court with jurisdiction
over crimes of an international character unless American
HR 2333 EAS
citizens are guaranteed, in the terms establishing such a
court, and in the court’s operation, that the court will take
no action infringing upon or diminishing their rights
under the First and Fourth Amendments of the Constitu-
tion of the United States, as interpreted by the United
States.
SEC. 170A. JAPAN AND GERMANY BECOMING PERMANENT
MEMBERS OF THE UNITED NATIONS SECU-
RITY COUNCIL.
(a) The Senate finds that—
(1) in the post-Cold War period, the inter-
national community expects the United Nations to
play a larger role, particularly in peacekeeping oper-
ations that may, on occasion, require the use of force
against determined aggressors;
(2) in the past five years the United Nations has
engaged in more peacekeeping operations than in the
preceding forty;
(3) the Security Council is the United Nations
body chiefly responsible for matters of peace and secu-
rity;
(4) the United Nations structure and the Secu-
rity Council’s roster of permanent members have re-
mained largely unchanged since the United Nations
was founded almost half a century ago;
HR 2333 EAS
(5) Japan and Germany, as the world’s second
and third largest economies, respectively, have at-
tained levels of global reach and influence equal to or
surpassing current permanent members of the Secu-
rity Council;
(6) both Japan and Germany have announced
their desire to gain permanent membership in the Se-
curity Council;
(7) any country accorded permanent membership
must be capable of fulfilling the responsibilities of
such status, including participation in any United
Nations military operations;
(8) according permanent membership to nations
not capable of carrying out these responsibilities will
allow those countries to play a central role in shaping
United Nations peacekeeping operations which could
endanger the lives of American and other troops, but
in which their own forces could play no part;
(9) currently, in both Japan and Germany the
prevailing view is that each country is prohibited
from carrying out all the responsibilities that perma-
nent membership entails and appears reluctant to
make the changes necessary to gain those capabilities;
HR 2333 EAS
(10) in Japan’s case, further reconciliation with
its Asian neighbors who suffered during the World
War II period is recommended, therefore
(b) It is the sense of the Senate that—
(1) in principle, the United States should sup-
port both Japan and Germany in their wish to gain
permanent membership in the United Nations Secu-
rity Council; but
(2) neither Japan nor Germany should be ad-
mitted as permanent members until they are capable
of discharging the full range of responsibilities accept-
ed by all current permanent members of the Security
Council.

MENTS.
(a) TRANSMITTAL TO CONGRESS OF UNITED NATIONS

tions for United Nations peacekeeping activities, or

(1) REASSESSMENT OF CONTRIBUTION PERCENT-
AGES.—The Permanent Representative should make
every effort to ensure that the United Nations com-
pletes an overall review and reassessment of each na-
tion’s assessed contributions for United Nations
peacekeeping activities. As part of the overall review
and assessment, the Permanent Representative should
make every effort to advance the concept that host
governments and other governments in the region
where a United Nations peacekeeping activity is car-
ried out should bear a greater burden of its financial
cost.
(2) UNITED STATES CONTRIBUTIONS.—(A) The
Permanent Representative should make every effort to
obtain agreement by the United Nations to a United
States assessed contribution for United Nations peace-
keeping activities that is no greater a percentage of
such contributions by all countries than the United
States percentage share of assessed contributions for
other United Nations activities.

year 1996, it does not intend to make available funds
for payment of United States assessed or voluntary

assessed and voluntary contributions of all countries
for such activities unless, after the date of enactment

LATERAL PEACEKEEPING ACTIVITIES.
(a) UNITED STATES PERSONNEL TAKEN PRISONER
WHILE
SERVING
IN
MULTILATERAL
PEACEKEEPING
FORCES.—
(1) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that—
(A) until recent years United States mili-
tary personnel rarely served as part of multilat-
eral forces under the United Nations or regional
international organizations;
(B) despite infrequent service as part of
multilateral forces, United States personnel, such
as Colonel William Higgins in Lebanon, have
been captured, tortured, and murdered;
(C) in recent years, United States military
personnel have served much more frequently as
part of multilateral forces;
(D) the capture and torture of Chief War-
rant Officer Michael Durant in Somalia in Oc-
tober 1993 was a horrendous and recent example
of the risk to United States personnel in multi-
lateral forces;
(E) continued multilateral service increases
the probability that United States military per-
sonnel will be captured, and subject to mistreat-
ment;
HR 2333 EAS
(F) United States military personnel cap-
tured while serving as part of multilateral forces
have not been treated as prisoners of war under
the 1949 Geneva Conventions and other inter-
national agreements intended to protect pris-
oners of war; and
(G) failure of United States military per-
sonnel serving as part of a multilateral force to
receive protection under international law in-
creases the risk to personnel while serving in
multinational forces.
(2) POLICY.—It is the sense of the Congress
that—
(A) the President should take immediate
steps, unilaterally and in appropriate inter-
national bodies, to assure that any United States
military personnel serving as part of a multilat-
eral force who are captured are accorded the pro-
tection accorded to prisoners of war; and
(B) the President should also take all nec-
essary steps to bring to justice all individuals re-
sponsible for any mistreatment, torture, or death
of United States military personnel who are cap-
tured while serving in a multilateral force.

(3) REPORT.—Each report submitted pursuant
to section 169 of this Act shall include a separate sec-
tion setting forth—
(A) the status under international law of
members of multilateral peacekeeping forces, in-
cluding the legal status of such personnel if cap-
tured, missing, or detained,
(B) the extent of the risk for United States
military personnel who are captured while par-
ticipating in multinational peacekeeping forces
in cases where their captors fail to respect the
1949 Geneva Conventions and other inter-
national agreements intended to protect pris-
oners of war, and
(C) the specific steps that have been taken
to protect United States military personnel par-
ticipating in multinational peacekeeping forces,

tions for the enactment of legislation to achieve

80 percent of the world’s refugee population. As called for
in the 1991 United Nations High Commissioner for Refu-
gees (UNHCR) ‘‘Guidelines on the Protection of Refugee

come generation skills training, and other training ef-
forts promoting self sufficiency for refugee women,
with special emphasis on women heads of household;
(8) education for all refugee children, ensuring
equal access for girls, and special services and family
tracing for unaccompanied refugee minors;

tion and refugee assistance, should support the protection
efforts set forth under this section by raising at the highest

that engage in, permit, or condone—
(1) a pattern of gross violations of internation-
ally recognized human rights, such as torture or cruel,
inhumane, or degrading treatment or punishment,
prolonged detention without charges, or other flagrant
denial to life, liberty, and the security of persons;

girls, and children; or
(4) continuing violations of the integrity of the
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 Secretary
of State should immediately investigate such reports
through emergency factfinding missions or other means of
investigating such reports and help identify appropriate re-
medial measures.
(e) MULTILATERAL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE 1991
UNHCR ‘‘GUIDELINES ON THE PROTECTION OF REFUGEE
WOMEN’’.—The Secretary of State should work to ensure
that multilateral organizations fully incorporate the needs
of refugee women and children into all elements of refugee

ideas among the peoples of the world contributes to
international peace and stability, and that the pro-
motion of such communication is in the interests of
the United States;

icy has been United States support for the Voice of

mation to the people of the world;

ties, and the creation of a new broadcasting service to
the people of the People’s Republic of China and the

vancing the goals of United States foreign policy; and
