Prohibiting Federal Funds for International Reparations Without Congressional Approval

This bill aims to prevent the U.S. government from using taxpayer money to pay reparations ordered by international courts or bodies, unless Congress explicitly approves it. This means decisions on such payments will require direct consent from citizens' representatives, potentially impacting how public funds are managed regarding international obligations.
Key points
The U.S. government will be prohibited from using federal funds to pay reparations (restitution, compensation, satisfaction) issued by international bodies or courts.
Such payments will only be allowed if the U.S. Congress specifically approves them through a separate Act of Congress.
