Directs the President, in order to deny the United Kingdom and the Royal Ulster Constabulary the ability to support acts of violence and destruction against Catholic enclaves in Northern Ireland, to establish diplomatic initiatives, both bilaterally with U.S. allies and multilaterally in appropriate international fora (including the United Nations) to limit the sale or export of plastic bullets to the United Kingdom and the Royal Ulster Constabulary. Directs the President to report periodically to the Congress on such bilateral and multilateral efforts.

Directs the Secretary of State, as part of the annual human rights report to the Congress under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, to include a description of each incident involving the use of plastic bullets as weapons in Northern Ireland.
