S. Res. 151 is a Senate resolution calling on the United States to formally recognize and refer to the 1994 Rwanda genocide as "the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda" rather than using more general language like "genocide in Rwanda." The resolution notes that the United Nations, the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, Human Rights Watch, and major countries including the United Kingdom and European nations already use this specific terminology to accurately reflect that Tutsi people were systematically targeted for extermination by Hutu extremist leaders. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to publicly affirm this language and acknowledges that while the Tutsi were the primary target, other mass atrocities and killings against Hutus and the Indigenous Twa community also occurred during the same period. This is a non-binding resolution expressing the Senate's position rather than creating new law or requiring funding, and it was introduced in April 2025 with bipartisan sponsorship.
