Here’s the problem, and the legality that the administration faces as the administration tries to give away money to these international climate change groups: it’s now prohibited by law. On March 17, 2016 – the U.N. officially recognized the so-called ‘State of Palestine.’ They said that the ‘ State of Palestine ’ is a full member of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
According to a 1994 law, passed by the House, passed by the Senate ( both controlled by the Democrats at the time ), signed into law, the United States cannot give any money to ‘ an affiliated organization of United Nations ’ that grants the Palestinians membership as a state. It’s called the 1994 Foreign Relations Authorization Act. These climate change groups are clearly affiliated organizations of the U.N.The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change – the organization that the Palestinian group, this so-called State of Palestine, just joined as a member state – says on its own website that it is ‘ institutionally linked ’ to the U.N. It also reports that the Green Climate Fund is one of it – it says – its ‘ constituted bodies, ’ so there’s a direct link.
The pipeline of money that the Obama administration is planning to send to these organizations must be shut off.
That’s what happened in 2011, when the Palestinian group joined the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization – commonly known as UNESCO. That triggered a similar 1990 law – and the United States has not given any money to UNESCO ever since.
