Restricting UN Funding for Afghanistan to Prevent Terrorist Financing.

This bill aims to halt US contributions to the United Nations designated for assistance in Afghanistan. Funding will be blocked until the Secretary of State certifies that US taxpayer money is not being shipped in cash and is not reaching specially designated global terrorist organizations. The goal is to enhance national security by preventing public funds from inadvertently supporting terrorism.
Key points
Suspension of US funds to the UN for Afghanistan aid until guarantees are provided that the money will not benefit terrorist groups.
Requires the Secretary of State to certify that no US funds are used in cash shipments to Afghanistan that could potentially reach terrorists.
Establishes a mechanism to revoke funding approval if it is later determined that funds reached terrorist organizations.
