Summary

United Nations Rapid Deployment Police and Security Force Act of 2000 - (Note: Bill text contains no section 3.) Requires the President to direct the U.S. representative to the United Nations (UN) to use the voice, vote, and influence of the United States to urge the UN to: (1) establish a United Nations Rapid Deployment Police and Security Force under the authority of the Security Council that is trained to standardized objectives; (2) recruit Force personnel; and (3) provide equitable and reliable funding. Declares that the Force should have a mission statement that: (1) specifies when it will engage in operations, including when the Security Council determines that an imminent threat to the peace requires a preventive deployment or that ongoing gross violations of human rights or breaches of the peace require rapid intervention; (2) provides that the Force will consist of not more than 6,000 volunteers from UN member nations who will be deployed only by Security Council resolution; (3) provides that the Force will be organized as a sub-department within the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations or under the control of the UN's Military Staff Committee; (4) limits Force deployment to a maximum of six months; and (5) requires its basing and infrastructure service to be leased from existing member nations' institutions.
