Answer 1

The Leahy Amendment prohibits foreign assistance to governments that provide aid to Cuba, nationalize US property without compensation, security forces with human rights violations, and governments that refuse to exempt US personnel from the International Criminal Court (ICC).

Step-by-step explanation:

The Leahy Amendment prohibits foreign assistance to recipients that fall into several categories:

1. Foreign governments that provide aid to Cuba.
2. Governments that nationalize US property without compensation.
3. Security forces guilty of gross human rights violations.
4. Governments that refuse to exempt US personnel from the International Criminal Court (ICC).

For example, the United States, under the Leahy Amendment, would not provide foreign assistance to a government that is known to abuse human rights or to a government that seized US-owned property without compensating the owners.
