Bill Summary

RESOLUTION Urging the European Union to expeditiously designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization under Common Position 931, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This Resolution urges the European Union (EU) to officially label the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), an Iranian military and security organization, as a terrorist entity under a specific EU framework known as Common Position 931. The resolution highlights the IRGC's alleged involvement in suppressing protests within Iran, human rights abuses, supporting proxy forces in the Middle East, aiding Russia's war in Ukraine, and targeting dissidents abroad, including assassination plots in Europe. It notes that while some EU countries have taken action against individual IRGC members, the EU as a whole has not yet designated the entire organization as terrorist, despite previous votes in the European Parliament supporting such a move. The resolution also encourages the U.S. administration to prioritize this designation in its diplomatic efforts with the EU and welcomes international efforts to achieve this goal.
