S. Res. 352 is a Senate resolution requesting that the Secretary of State provide a comprehensive report on South Sudan's human rights practices within 30 days, prepared with input from the State Department's democracy and human rights office. The resolution specifically requires information about alleged human rights violations by the South Sudan government, including torture, arbitrary detention, enforced disappearances, and human trafficking—with particular emphasis on how non-citizens removed to South Sudan by the U.S. government are treated. The report must also detail what steps the U.S. has taken to promote human rights in South Sudan, assess whether American security assistance could be misused there, and provide information about any individuals the U.S. government has sent to South Sudan in 2025, including any agreements or assurances made about their treatment. This resolution affects U.S. foreign policy toward South Sudan and raises concerns about how the U.S. government handles the removal or rendition of foreign nationals to countries with documented human rights problems.
