Bill ties US dues to UN reform overhauls funding
A House International Relations Committee draft proposes linking U.S. payments to the United Nations to broad reforms. It would cut funding for inefficient programs and bar human rights violators from bodies, potentially withholding 50 percent of U.S. dues if reforms fail.
