To authorize appropriations for the payment of United States arrearages to the United Nations.

Summary

Authorizes appropriations for the payment of arrearages in assessed U.S. contributions to the United Nations, including contributions for international peacekeeping activities, for specified past fiscal years. Expresses the sense of the Congress that the United States should: (1) maintain its leadership role within a more effective and less costly United Nations; (2) continue efforts to persuade other U.N. members to support a broad agenda for reform, budgetary discipline, and equitable financial burden sharing; and (3) promptly negotiate a reduction in its assessed contribution for any U.N. peacekeeping operation to no more than 25 percent of all assessed contributions.
