Referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. (text: CR S5003: 1)
This Senate resolution requests that the Secretary of State submit a detailed report to Congress within 30 days examining the Kingdom of Eswatini's human rights record. The report must address alleged violations including arbitrary arrest, torture, enforced disappearances, and human trafficking, with particular focus on how Eswatini treats non-citizens who have been removed there by the U.S. government. The resolution also requires the State Department to assess whether U.S. security assistance to Eswatini could be misused and to document what safeguards the U.S. has implemented before sending individuals to the country. Additionally, the report must disclose all U.S.-Eswatini agreements related to removal or detention of individuals, details about any people sent to Eswatini in 2025, and a summary of 2025 meetings between U.S. and Eswatini officials. The resolution essentially directs Congress to gain transparency into U.S. deportation and removal practices involving Eswatini and whether the country's government respects international human rights standards.
