Bill > HRes586

This resolution recognizes and applauds efforts to address the complex humanitarian and political challenges in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), specifically focusing on brokering peace between Rwanda and the DRC. The resolution calls for multiple diplomatic and economic actions, including urging peaceful resolution of regional tensions, supporting African-led peace dialogues like the Luanda and Nairobi Processes, and promoting an inclusive national dialogue facilitated by religious organizations. It demands an end to state support for armed groups, combating systemic corruption, and respecting democratic principles and human rights. The resolution also endorses establishing critical minerals commercial agreements between the United States, DRC, and Rwanda to improve economic security, encourages strengthening supply chain traceability regulations for conflict minerals, and urges the U.S. President to impose sanctions on corrupt actors and armed groups responsible for atrocities. Importantly, the resolution highlights the region's significant challenges, including massive internal displacement, humanitarian crises, and the exploitation of natural resources by armed groups, while reaffirming the United States' commitment to supporting peace, democracy, and economic development in the African Great Lakes region.
