Referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. (text: CR S5787-5788)
This Senate resolution expresses strong opposition to the Cuban government, calling on the United States to maintain its current policy stance and pursue greater international pressure against Cuba. The resolution condemns what it describes as the regime's human rights abuses, including political repression, torture, and trafficking of medical workers abroad, as well as Cuba's relationships with countries designated as state sponsors of terrorism like Iran, Syria, and North Korea. It also criticizes Cuba's support for Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, its harboring of fugitives wanted in the United States, and its allowance of Russian and Chinese military and intelligence operations near U.S. territory. The resolution calls on the U.S. government to use diplomatic tools to promote democracy in Cuba, work with allies to remove Cuba from the U.N. Human Rights Council, and maintain Cuba on the State Department's terrorism sponsor list. Additionally, it requires the State Department to submit biannual reports to Congress on March 1st and September 1st detailing efforts to advance freedom and democracy in Cuba.
