Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
Senate Resolution 113 is a statement reaffirming the international principle that no country may forcibly take territory from another nation or use military force against another state's sovereignty. The resolution, introduced in March 2025, specifically references Russia's ongoing invasion and occupation of Ukraine as a violation of this fundamental principle. The measure does not authorize spending or create new policy requirements but serves as a formal expression of the Senate's position supporting territorial integrity and democratic allies. It calls on the United States to stand with nations defending themselves against foreign aggression, echoing historical commitments to supporting democracies facing authoritarian threats. This type of resolution is primarily symbolic and is intended to communicate Congress's official stance on international law and U.S. values regarding state sovereignty.
