Bill > SRes355

This resolution requests the Secretary of State to submit a detailed report to Congressional foreign relations committees within 30 days, examining Rwanda's human rights practices under section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. The comprehensive report must include credible information about potential human rights violations by the Rwandan government, with specific focus on non-Rwandan individuals removed to Rwanda by the United States, covering issues such as arbitrary arrests, detention, torture, due process violations, enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and human trafficking. The resolution requires an assessment of U.S. government actions to promote human rights, discourage problematic practices, and protect individuals' rights, including detailed information about any agreements, financial transactions, or assurances related to the removal of non-Rwandan individuals to Rwanda. The report must also evaluate the potential misuse of U.S. security assistance, examine conditions in Rwandan detention centers, describe efforts to comply with court orders, and provide a summary of meetings between Rwandan and U.S. government officials in 2025, ultimately aiming to ensure transparency and accountability in U.S. foreign policy and human rights engagement with Rwanda.
