Bill Summary

A resolution reaffirming the fundamental principle prohibiting any state from forcibly acquiring the territory of another state.

AI Summary

This resolution reaffirms a fundamental international legal principle that prohibits states from using military force to acquire or annexing the territory of another sovereign state. Specifically, the resolution references the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine as a context for reasserting this core principle of international law. By citing a quote from President Reagan about standing by democratic allies and defying aggression, the resolution also underscores the long-standing United States commitment to opposing territorial conquest through military means. The Senate's resolution formally declares that no state should threaten or use force against another state's territorial or political integrity, which is a direct condemnation of actions like Russia's invasion of Ukraine and a broader statement of support for international norms of state sovereignty and territorial inviolability.
