PRESIDENTIAL
DETERMINATIONS.—The

referred to in subsection (c) are the following:
(1) 
WITHHOLDING
OF
NONHUMANITARIAN, 
NONTRADE-
RELATED ASSISTANCE.—The President has determined that—
(A)(i) the United States will not provide nonhumani-
tarian, nontrade-related foreign assistance to the govern-
ment of the country for the subsequent fiscal year until
such government complies with the minimum standards
or makes significant efforts to bring itself into compliance;
or
(ii) in the case of a country whose government received
no nonhumanitarian, nontrade-related foreign assistance
from the United States during the previous fiscal year,
the United States will not provide funding for participation
by officials or employees of such governments in edu-
cational and cultural exchange programs for the subsequent
fiscal year until such government complies with the min-
imum standards or makes significant efforts to bring itself
into compliance; and
(B) the President will instruct the United States Execu-
tive Director of each multilateral development bank and
of the International Monetary Fund to vote against, and
to use the Executive Director’s best efforts to deny, any
loan or other utilization of the funds of the respective
institution to that country (other than for humanitarian
assistance, for trade-related assistance, or for development
assistance which directly addresses basic human needs,
is not administered by the government of the sanctioned
country, and confers no benefit to that government) for
the subsequent fiscal year until such government complies
with the minimum standards or makes significant efforts
to bring itself into compliance.
(2) ONGOING, MULTIPLE, BROAD-BASED
RESTRICTIONS
ON
ASSISTANCE IN RESPONSE TO HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS.—The
President has determined that such country is already subject
to multiple, broad-based restrictions on assistance imposed in
significant part in response to human rights abuses and such
restrictions are ongoing and are comparable to the restrictions

panied by a description of the specific restriction or restrictions
that were the basis for making such determination.

determined that the government of the country has come into
compliance with the minimum standards or is making signifi-

(4) CONTINUATION
OF
ASSISTANCE
IN
THE
NATIONAL
INTEREST.—Notwithstanding the failure of the government of
the country to comply with minimum standards for the elimi-
nation of trafficking and to make significant efforts to bring
itself into compliance, the President has determined that the
provision to the country of nonhumanitarian, nontrade-related
foreign assistance, or the multilateral assistance described in
paragraph (1)(B), or both, would promote the purposes of this
division or is otherwise in the national interest of the United
States.
(5) EXERCISE OF WAIVER AUTHORITY.—
