United Nations Voting Accountability Act of 2025

The proposed legislation, titled the "United Nations Voting Accountability Act of 2025," seeks to prohibit United States assistance to foreign countries that consistently oppose the U.S. position in the United Nations. This prohibition is triggered if a country's recorded votes in the UN General Assembly, and Security Council for members, align with the U.S. less than 50 percent of the time, or if they sponsor resolutions disproportionately targeting the U.S. or its allies. The term "United States assistance" is broadly defined to encompass various forms of monetary and physical aid, including funding routed through international organizations and UN programs.

An exemption from this prohibition can be granted by the Secretary of State if there has been a fundamental change in the leadership and policies of a country's government, indicating a future alignment with U.S. positions. Any such exemption is temporary, effective only until the submission of the next required report on UN voting records, and necessitates a detailed notification to Congress regarding the basis for the determination. The Act is slated to take effect upon the submission of a specific report due by March 31, 2026.
