This law lets the U.S. help international efforts to prosecute named war-crimes suspects and to support the International Criminal Court's work on Ukraine. That funding can't go toward investigating U.S. troops or allied personnel. The Secretary of State must notify Congress 15 days before spending this money.

(a) Assistance: Nothing in this subchapter stops the United States from helping international efforts to bring to justice Saddam Hussein, Slobodan Milosevic, Osama bin Laden, other members of Al Qaeda, leaders of Islamic Jihad, and other foreign nationals accused of genocide, war crimes, or crimes against humanity. It also doesn't stop the United States from assisting the International Criminal Court's investigations and prosecutions of foreign nationals related to the situation in Ukraine, including support for victims and witnesses.

(b) Authority: Assistance under subsection (a) may be given even though section 7401 of this title would otherwise restrict it. But none of the funds made available for this purpose may go toward investigating or prosecuting U.S. service members, other "covered United States persons," or "covered allied persons" — terms defined in section 7432 of this title.

(c) Notification: The Secretary of State must notify the Appropriations Committees, the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs of any amounts obligated under subsection (b), no later than 15 days before that obligation is made.
