International Conflicts of Concern Act

Directs the President to identify to Congress each country whose government is, and each country in which anti-government forces are, allowing one or more foreign terrorist organizations to engage in armed conflict occurring in that country.

Terminates such a designation when the President certifies to Congress that either or both of these circumstances no longer apply.
