What this bill would do
This bill, titled the "Limiting Extremist Travel to the United Nations Act," directs the Secretary of State to implement specific travel conditions for certain individuals attending United Nations meetings. These restrictions target officials from Iran, officials associated with Foreign Terrorist Organizations, and officials from United Nations organizations where the United States is not a member. For those in the first two categories, travel is restricted to specific routes between airports, the UN Headquarters, hotels, or representative offices, with limited visa validity. Officials from certain UN organizations are restricted to a 25-mile radius of the UN Headquarters and are prohibited from visiting institutes of higher education within that radius. The Act includes specific exceptions for accessibility and security concerns.
