Withholding of contributions to United Nations for legal fees of certain officers or employees

The United States may not contribute to the United Nations any funds to be used to pay or reimburse legal expenses incurred by current or former United Nations officers or employees in connection with proceedings arising out of alleged malfeasance in connection with the employment of such officers or employees with the United Nations.
