Summary

The Foundation must not give support to any government or government-owned group if the Secretary finds that the government repeatedly backed international terrorism under laws like 50 U.S.C. 4813(c)(1)(A)(i), 22 U.S.C. 2371(a), or 22 U.S.C. 2780(d); if it was identified under 22 U.S.C. 2151n(a) or 2304(a)(2); or if it failed the Millennium Challenge Corporation’s “control of corruption” indicator in any of the 3 years before a planned grant. The Foundation also must not do things forbidden by U.S. sanctions, including dealing with people on OFAC’s specially designated or blocked lists, unless the Secretary or the Secretary of the Treasury allows it. Anyone who receives support must certify that they and any entities they own or control follow all U.S. sanctions laws and rules.
