Stop Funding Global Terrorists Act of 2025
To restrict United States voluntary and assessed contributions to the United Nations, and for other purposes.
Summary
This Act restricts United States voluntary and assessed contributions to the United Nations for assistance in Afghanistan until the Secretary of State certifies that no U.S. funds are used in UN cash shipments to Afghanistan, that no specially designated global terrorist organizations receive funds from such shipments, and that no foreign terrorist organizations receive funds from such shipments. If the Secretary determines that a previous certification was inaccurate, they must revoke it and provide a detailed justification to Congress. The Act applies to both foreign terrorist organizations designated by the State Department and specially designated global terrorist organizations designated under Executive Order 13224.
