22 U.S.C. § 262p–15 — United States policy on Burma at the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank Group, and the Asian Development Bank

(a) Policy of the United States
The Treasury Secretary must instruct the U.S. representatives at the IMF, World Bank Group, and Asian Development Bank to tell those institutions that U.S. policy is to oppose any loan or financial help to Burma through the State Administration Council or any successor group controlled by the military. The U.S. representatives must vote against such loans. The one exception is humanitarian assistance, but only if it's delivered through an agency that the Burmese military doesn't control.

(b) Submission of written statements
Within 60 days after a Board of Directors meeting of the World Bank Group or Asian Development Bank, the Treasury Secretary must send the House Financial Services Committee and Senate Foreign Relations Committee any written statement the U.S. representative gave at that meeting. This covers statements about the policy in subsection (a), or about any U.S. position on a strategy, policy, loan, or assistance related to Burma that the Board discussed.

(c) Waiver
The President can waive subsection (a) case-by-case, but only after certifying to those same two committees that the waiver either: (1) mainly helps deliver humanitarian assistance to Burma's civilian population — with a detailed explanation of why the waiver is needed, what the assistance is, how it will be delivered, and what oversight will be in place; or (2) otherwise serves the national interest of the United States, with a detailed explanation of the reasons.

(d) World Bank Group defined
In this section, "World Bank Group" means the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the International Development Association, the International Finance Corporation, and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency.
