Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no funds made available for use as a United States contribution to any United Nations entity may be obligated or expended if— the intended United Nations entity recipient has not provided to the Inspector General within the preceding year a transparency certification; or the intended United Nations entity recipient is noncompliant with its transparency certification as described in section 202(c)(9)(C). At the conclusion of each fiscal year, any funds that had been appropriated for use as a United States contribution to a United Nations entity during that fiscal year, but could not be obligated or expended because of the restrictions of subsection (a), shall be returned to the United States Treasury, and are not subject to reprogramming for any other use.
Any such funds returned to the Treasury shall not be considered arrears to be repaid to any United Nations entity. The President may waive the limitations of this section with respect to a particular United States contribution to a particular United Nations entity within a single fiscal year if the President determines that it is necessary for the national security interests of the United States and provides notification and explanation of that determination to the appropriate congressional committees.
