Limiting Extremist Travel to the United Nations Act

United States119th CongressHR-4941House of Representatives
Updated: Aug 8, 2025

Summary

This bill mandates the Secretary of State to implement stringent travel conditions for specific groups of officials attending United Nations meetings at the UN Headquarters in New York City. The targeted officials include those from Iran , individuals certified as maintaining an official association or membership with any Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) , and officials from United Nations organizations to which the United States is not a member. For officials from Iran or those associated with FTOs, travel is restricted to the closest routes between John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), or Teterboro Airport (TEB) and the UN Headquarters, and between the UN Headquarters and their accommodation or representative office. Their visas may only be valid for one day prior to and one day following the UN General Assembly meeting. Officials from UN organizations where the U.S. is not a member are confined to a 25-mile radius of the UN Headquarters and are prohibited from visiting any institute of higher education within that radius. Exceptions allow for alternative routes if primary routes are inaccessible or present security concerns, as determined by the Department of State or Department of Homeland Security. The legislation explicitly states that these travel conditions do not apply to United States citizens or legal permanent residents.
