Bill > HRes417

This Resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives, meaning it reflects the opinion of the House, in support of Georgia. It reaffirms the United States' commitment to Georgia's sovereignty and territorial integrity within its recognized borders, explicitly stating that the U.S. does not recognize the independence of the Abkhazia and South Ossetia regions, which are currently occupied by the Russian Federation. The resolution also supports ongoing cooperation between the United States and Georgia and commends Georgia's efforts to defend its people and territory, acknowledging Georgia's past contributions to international security efforts like NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan and the Multi-National Force in Iraq, as well as its participation in initiatives like the European Deterrence Initiative and NATO's Partnership for Peace program, which enhance its defense capabilities and interoperability with the U.S. and NATO.
