 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Supports the Administration's efforts to combat anti-Israel bias at the United Nations (U.N.).

Calls on the President and the Secretary of State to oppose any endorsement of the Report in multilateral fora, including through leading opposition to any U.N.

Security Council resolution that endorses the Report's contents, seeks to act upon the Report's recommendations, or calls on any other international body to take further action regarding such Report.

Calls on the President and the Secretary to oppose endorsement of, and measures stemming from, the Report.
