Bill > HRes176

This resolution encourages the European Union (EU) to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization under Common Position 931, a EU framework for combating terrorism. The resolution highlights the IRGC's long history of human rights abuses, including suppressing protests in Iran, supporting terrorist proxy forces in the Middle East, providing military assistance to the Syrian regime and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and attempting to assassinate dissidents worldwide. The document notes that the IRGC has already been designated as a terrorist organization by the United States in 2019 and by Canada in 2024, and that the European Parliament has overwhelmingly voted in favor of such a designation. The resolution urges the EU to take swift action to formally classify the IRGC as a terrorist entity, encourages diplomatic efforts to prioritize this designation, and welcomes international efforts to hold the IRGC accountable for its actions. By doing so, the resolution aims to increase pressure on the IRGC and limit its ability to operate globally.
