SEVER Act
The SEVER Act would require U.S. visa officials to deny entry to United Nations representatives who are subject to sanctions under Executive Order 13876 (which targets Iran-related activities). This bill amends existing law to explicitly include individuals sanctioned under this order as grounds for visa denial. It directly affects UN delegates or officials specifically sanctioned for Iran-related actions as of September 15, 2022. The change would apply automatically to all such representatives without requiring additional case-by-case review.
