A bill to urge the United Nations to abolish the position of Special Rapporteur on unilateral coercive measures and to withhold United States funding for such position.

This bill directs the U.S. to seek the abolition of a UN Special Rapporteur position that examines the human rights impacts of unilateral sanctions. It requires the U.S. representative at the UN to use diplomatic influence to end this position and withhold U.S. funding for it. The bill specifically prohibits U.S. contributions to the UN that would support this rapporteur role, including amending existing law to withhold 25% of funds allocated to the position. It directly affects the UN's funding and operational structure for this specific human rights monitoring role.
