Bill > S356

This bill amends the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 to modify the establishment of a coordinator for detained ISIS members and relevant displaced populations in Syria. The key provisions include: 1. Designating a senior-level coordinator to coordinate matters related to ISIS members in the custody of the Syrian Democratic Forces and other relevant displaced populations in Syria, including engaging with foreign partners on repatriation and disposition of these individuals, coordinating international engagements, and providing technical assistance for the investigation and prosecution of ISIS members. 2. Requiring the development of an interagency strategy to address issues related to ISIS-affiliated individuals and ISIS-related detainee and displacement camps in Syria, covering areas such as disengagement from violence, repatriation and reintegration, improving humanitarian conditions, and security in the camps. 3. Mandating an annual interagency report on the facilities and camps where detained ISIS members and families with perceived ISIS affiliation are held, efforts to address humanitarian and security needs, repatriation efforts, and other relevant information. The bill aims to provide a comprehensive approach to addressing the challenges posed by ISIS detainees and displaced persons in Syria, with a focus on repatriation, rehabilitation, and the eventual closure of the camps.
