Of the funds appropriated by this Act under the headings National Security Investment Programs , Democracy Fund , and International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement , $2,175,000,000 should be made available for democracy programs as described under this section in the explanatory statement described in section 4 (in the matter preceding division A of this consolidated Act). Funds made available by this Act for democracy programs pursuant to subsection
(a)and under the heading National Endowment for Democracy may be made available notwithstanding any other provision of law, and with regard to the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), any regulation. Funds made available by this Act for the NED are made available pursuant to the authority of the National Endowment for Democracy Act (title V of Public Law 98–164 ), including all decisions regarding the selection of beneficiaries. For purposes of funds appropriated by this Act, the term democracy programs means programs that support good governance, credible and competitive elections, freedom of expression, association, assembly, and religion, human rights, labor rights, independent media, and the rule of law, and that otherwise strengthen the capacity of democratic political parties, governments, nongovernmental organizations and institutions, and citizens to support the development of democratic states and institutions that are responsive and accountable to citizens. With respect to the provision of assistance for democracy programs in this Act, the organizations implementing such assistance, the specific nature of the assistance, and the participants in such programs shall not be subject to prior approval by the government of any foreign country. If the Secretary of State determines that the government of the country is undemocratic or has engaged in or condoned harassment, threats, or attacks against organizations implementing democracy programs, any new bilateral agreement governing the terms and conditions under which assistance is provided to such country shall not require the disclosure of the names of implementing partners of democracy programs, and the Secretary of State shall expeditiously seek to negotiate amendments to existing bilateral agreements, as necessary, to conform to this requirement. Funds appropriated by this Act under the headings National Security Investment Programs and Democracy Fund shall be made available to support and protect members of civil society and journalists who have been threatened, harassed, or attacked.
