Contact Congress about S. 313: Stop Funding Global Terrorists Act of 2025

U.S. money for U.N. aid in Afghanistan could not go out unless the State Department certifies that it is not tied to certain cash shipments. The certification must also say listed terrorist groups are not getting money from those shipments.

Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Stop Funding Global Terrorists Act of 2025 is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.

Latest action on S. 313: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects U.N. programs that use U.S. money for assistance in Afghanistan, especially if those programs rely on cash shipments. It also affects the State Department, which would have to make and withdraw certifications, and Congress, which would receive notices and explanations.

Why this matters: This bill matters because it could change when U.S. money can support U.N. aid work in Afghanistan. It tries to stop U.S. funds from reaching terrorist groups through U.N. cash shipments. At the same time, it could affect aid delivery if the U.N. or State Department cannot meet the certification rules quickly. The bill does not say how much aid would be delayed or whether other funding would replace it.

Key provisions in S. 313

  • The U.S. could not send voluntary or required payments to the United Nations for Afghanistan assistance unless the required certification is filed first.
  • The certification must say U.S. money is not used in U.N. cash shipments into Afghanistan.
  • The certification must also say that no specially designated global terrorist organization gets money from those cash shipments.
  • The certification must also say that no foreign terrorist organization gets money from those cash shipments.
  • A foreign terrorist organization means a group named under section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act, the federal law at 8 U.S.C. 1189.
