Sec. 262d-1. Congressional statement of policy of human rights
and United States assistance policies with international
institutions
It is the sense of the Congress that, where other means have proven
ineffective in promoting international human rights, and except where
the President determines that the cause of international human rights is
served more effectively by actions other than voting against such
assistance or where the assistance is directed to programs that serve
the basic needs of the impoverished majority of the country in question,
United States representatives to the International Bank for
Reconstruction and Development, the International Development
Association, the African Development Fund, the Asian Development Bank,
and the Inter-American Development Bank should oppose loans and other
financial or technical assistance to any country that persists in a
systematic pattern of gross violations of fundamental human rights.
