AI Summary
This bill, the Maritime Security Accountability Act of 2017, aims to enhance congressional oversight of the U.S. Armed Forces' freedom of navigation operations. Specifically, it requires the Department of Defense to include in its annual report on these operations a list of any excessive maritime claims by other countries that have not been challenged by the U.S. under the freedom of navigation program. This additional information is intended to provide Congress with a more comprehensive understanding of the U.S. government's efforts to uphold the principle of freedom of navigation in international waters.
