Search 22 U.S.C. § 262d-1 : US Code - Section 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.
