## Summary

**Changes how the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) is described in U.N. law by replacing language that equates it with member states with language allowing any status, rights, or privileges beyond observer status.** It would also change the wording U.S. laws use for contributions to the United Nations and explicitly says the act does not apply to Taiwan. - PLO: Would let the PLO be referenced in U.S. law and U.N.-related statutes as holding "any status, rights, or privileges beyond observer status" instead of being described as having the same standing as member states. - U.N. agencies and affiliated organizations: Would shift statutory language used to describe the PLO in U.N. bodies, which could affect how those bodies record or refer to PLO rights and statuses. - U.S. contributions rules: Would replace references to "full membership" in the statutes that limit or frame U.S. contributions to the U.N. and affiliated organizations with the broader phrase about statuses beyond observer status. - Taiwan: Contains a rule of construction that nothing in the act applies to Taiwan, so the changes do not extend to Taiwan.
