SEC. 3. The Brettoii Woods Agreements Act (22 U.S.C. 286— 286k-2) is amended by adding at the end thereof the following newsection: "SEC. 29. The Secretary of the Treasury shall instruct the United States executive director to seek to assure that no decision by the International Monetary Fund on the use of the facility undermines or departs from United States policy regarding the comparability of treatment of public and private creditors in cases of debt rescheduling where official United States credits are involved.". SEC. 4. The Bretton Woods Agreements Act (22 U.S.C. 286— 286k-2) is amended by adding at the end thereof the following: "SEC. 30. (a) The Secretary of the Treasury shall instruct the United States executive director on the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund to initiate a wide consultation with the managing director of the Fund and other member country executive directors with regard to encouraging the staff of the Fund to formulate stabilization programs entered into pursuant to loans from the Supplementary Financing Facility which, to the maximum feasible extent, foster a broader base of productive investment and employment, especially in those productive activities which are designed to meet basic human needs. "(b) In order to gain a better understanding of the social, political and economic impact of the Fund's stabilization programs entered into pursuant to loans from the Supplementary Financing Facility on borrowing countries, especially as it relates to the poor majority within those countries, the United States Governor of the Fund shall prepare and submit, not later than 180 days after the close of each calendar year, a report to the Congress. Such report shall evaluate, to the maximum extent feasible, with respect to countries to which loans are made by the Supplementary Financing Facility during each year, the effects of policies of those countries which result from the standby agreements on basic human needs in such countries. "SEC. 31. The Secretary of the Treasury shall in consultation with the Secretary of State prepare and submit to the Congress an annual report on the status of internationaly recognized human rights, as defined in section 116(a) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, in each country which draws on funds made available under the Supplementary Financing Facility of the International Monetary Fund.". SEC. 5. (a) The Congress finds that— (1) the Government of Uganda, under the regime of General Idi Amin, has committed genocide against Ugandans; (2) the United States maintains substantial trade with the Republic of Uganda; and (3) the relationship of the United States with Uganda is unique and justifies an exceptional response by the United States to the actions of the Government of Uganda. (b) It is the sense of the Congress that the Government of the United States should take steps to disassociate itself from any foreign government which engages in the international crime of genocide. (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, after date of enactment of this section, no corporation, institution, group or individual may import, directly or indirectly, into the United States or its territories or possessions any article grown, produced, or manufactured in Uganda until the President determines and certifies to the Congress that the Government of Uganda is no longer committing a consistent pattern of gross violations of human rights.
