Bill Summary

Calling for the annulment of the Monroe Doctrine and the development of a "New Good Neighbor" policy in order to foster improved relations and deeper, more effective cooperation between the United States and its Latin American and Caribbean neighbors.

AI Summary

This resolution calls for the United States to formally abandon the Monroe Doctrine, a long-standing foreign policy that has historically been interpreted as a justification for U.S. intervention in Latin American and Caribbean affairs, and to instead develop a "New Good Neighbor" policy. This new policy aims to foster improved relations and deeper, more effective cooperation with countries in the Western Hemisphere by respecting their sovereign economic development plans, ending unilateral economic sanctions, ensuring greater congressional oversight of sanctions, supporting legitimate democratic transitions, respecting regional decisions, declassifying archives related to past U.S. interference, reforming the Organization of American States (OAS) to ensure transparency and accountability, contributing to the Amazon Fund, advocating for democratic reforms in international financial institutions like the IMF and World Bank, and supporting climate action initiatives. Additionally, the resolution emphasizes increased cooperation with regional bodies on issues such as climate change, inequality, arms trafficking, and human rights, and reiterates the commitment to respecting international law, sovereignty, and territorial integrity.
