NATIONS AND AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS.
The United States shall not make any voluntary or
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
(2) to the United Nations, if the United Na-
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 EH1S
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 EH1S
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 EH1S
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 EH1S
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 EH1S
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 EH1S
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 EH1S
(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.
•HR 2333 EH1S
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 EH1S
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.’’.
SEC. 183. MIGRATION AND REFUGEE AMENDMENTS.
(a) MIGRATION
AND REFUGEE ASSISTANCE ACT
AMENDMENTS.—
(1) The Migration and Refugee Assistance Act
of 1962 (22 U.S.C. 2601) is amended—
(A) in section 2 by striking ‘‘the Intergov-
ernmental Committee for European Migration’’
and inserting ‘‘the International Organization
for Migration’’ each place it appears;
(B) in section 2(a) by striking ‘‘the Com-
mittee’’ and inserting ‘‘the Organization’’ each
place it appears;
(C) in the first sentence of section 2(a) by
inserting before the period ‘‘, as amended in
Geneva, Switzerland, on May 20, 1987’’; and
•HR 2333 EH1S
(D) 
in 
section 
2(c)(2), 
by 
striking
‘‘$50,000,000’’ and inserting ‘‘$100,000,000’’.
(2) Section 745 of Public Law 100–204 (22
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 EH1S
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the
Congress that the President should direct the Secretary
of State to request the Secretary-General of the United
Nations to seek immediate resolution of this problem. The
President shall inform the Congress of any progress in re-
solving this situation together with the submission to Con-
gress of the request for funding for the ‘‘Contributions
to International Organizations’’ account for the fiscal year
1995.
SEC. 185. REFORMS IN THE FOOD AND AGRICULTURE OR-
GANIZATION.
In light of the longstanding efforts of the United
States and the other major donor nations to reform the
Food and Agriculture Organization and 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 oppor-
tunity of the 1993 election of a new Director Gen-
eral of the Food and Agriculture Organization
(FAO) to press for long-needed organizational and
management reforms; and
(2) it should be the policy of the United States
to promote the following reforms in the Food and
Agriculture Organization:
•HR 2333 EH1S
(A) Decentralization of the administrative
structure of FAO, including eliminating redun-
dant or unnecessary headquarters staff, in-
creased responsibilities of regional offices, in-
creased time for consideration of budget issues
by member states, and a more meaningful and
direct role for member states in the decision-
making process.
(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 in-
dividual may serve.
(D) Restructuring of the Technical Co-
operation Program (TCP), including reducing
the number of nonemergency projects funds
through the TCP and establishing procedures
to deploy TCP consultants, supplies, and equip-
ment in a timely manner.
SEC. 186. INTERPARLIAMENTARY EXCHANGES.
(a) AUTHORIZATIONS OF APPROPRIATIONS.—
(1) Section 2 of Public Law 86–420 is amend-
ed—

(B) by striking ‘‘$50,000’’ both places it
appears and inserting ‘‘$40,000’’.
(2) Section 2 of Public Law 86–42 is amend-
ed—
(A) by striking ‘‘$50,000’’ and inserting
‘‘$70,000’’; and

appears and inserting ‘‘$35,000’’.
(b) DEPOSIT OF FUNDS IN INTEREST-BEARING AC-
COUNTS.—Funds appropriated and disbursed pursuant to

1329–23;22 U.S.C. 276 note) are authorized to be depos-
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
ASSISTANCE TO REFUGEES AND DISPLACED
PERSONS.
(a) STANDARDS FOR REFUGEE WOMEN AND CHIL-
DREN.—The United States Government, in providing for
overseas assistance and protection of refugees and dis-
placed persons, shall seek to address the protection and
provision of basic needs of refugee women and children

lation. As called for in the 1991 United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) ‘‘Guidelines on the
Protection of Refugee Women,’’ whether directly, or
through international organizations and nongovernmental
voluntary organizations, the Secretary of State shall seek
to ensure—
(1) specific attention on the part of the United
Nations and relief organizations to recruit and em-
ploy female protection officers;
(2) implementation of gender awareness train-
ing for field staff including, but not limited to, secu-
rity personnel;
(3) the protection of refugee women and chil-
dren from violence and other abuses on the part of
governments or insurgent groups;
(4) full involvement of women refugees in the
planning and implementation of (A) the delivery of
services and assistance, and (B) the repatriation
process;
(5) incorporation of maternal and child health
needs into refugee health services and education,
specifically to include education on and access to
services in reproductive health and birth spacing;
•HR 2333 EH1S
(6) the availability of counseling and other serv-
ices, grievance processes, and protective services to
victims of violence and abuse, including but not lim-
ited to rape and domestic violence;
(7) the provision of educational programs, par-
ticularly literacy and numeracy, vocational and in-
come-generation skills training, and other training
efforts 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;
(9) the collection of data that clearly enumerate
age and gender so that appropriate health, edu-
cation, and assistance programs can be planned;
(10) the recruitment, hiring, and training of
more women program professionals in the inter-
national humanitarian field; and

organizations on implementation of the 1991
UNHCR ‘‘Guidelines on the Protection of Refugee
Women’’.

adopt specific procedures to ensure that all recipients of
United States Government refugee and migration assist-
ance funds implement the standards outlined in subsection
(a).
(c) REQUIREMENTS FOR REFUGEE AND MIGRATION
ASSISTANCE.—The Secretary of State, in providing mi-
gration and refugee assistance, should support the protec-
tion efforts set forth under this section by raising at the
highest levels of government the issue of abuses against
refugee women and children by governments or insurgent
groups 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 punish-
ment, prolonged detention without charges, or other
flagrant denial to life, liberty, and the security of
person;
(2) the blockage of humanitarian relief assist-
ance;
(3) gender-specific persecution such as system-
atic individual or mass rape, forced pregnancy,
forced abortion, enforced prostitution, any form of
