No funds from any United States assessed or voluntary contribution to the International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA)may be used to support any assistance provided by the IAEA through its Technical Cooperation Program to Iran, North Korea, or Syria. The provisions of paragraph
(1)may be waived if— the IAEA has suspended all assistance provided through its Technical Cooperation Program to Iran, North Korea, and Syria; and the President certifies that Iran, North Korea, and Syria— no longer pose a threat to the national security, interests, and allies of the United States; and are no longer in violation of their international nonproliferation obligations and United Nations Security Council resolutions. The President shall direct the United States Permanent Representative to the IAEA to use the voice, vote, and influence of the United States at the IAEA to block the allocation of funds for any assistance provided by the IAEA through its Technical Cooperation Program to Iran, North Korea, or Syria. Congress finds the following: The Governments of Iran, North Korea, and Syria are in clear violation of international nonproliferation agreements and United Nations Security Council resolutions. The pursuit by the Governments of Iran, North Korea, and Syria of covert nuclear activities and their refusal to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency in its past and current investigations into their nuclear programs are further evidence of their disregard for their nonproliferation obligations. The Governments of Iran, North Korea, and Syria are not in good standing with respect to their nonproliferation obligations. The actions of the Governments of Iran, North Korea, and Syria have demonstrated their respective nuclear programs are not for peaceful use. Congress declares that the Governments of Iran, North Korea, and Syria have forfeited all privileges under the Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons, including access to nuclear equipment, materials, and information. The United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations and the United States Permanent Representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency shall use the voice, vote, and influence of the United States to secure adoption of a resolution at the United Nations Security Council and at the IAEA declaring that Iran, North Korea, and Syria have forfeited all privileges under the Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons. Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the President shall transmit to the appropriate congressional committees a report on the implementation of this section.
