Referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. (text: CR S5004)
This Senate resolution requests that the State Department submit a detailed report to Congress within 30 days examining Costa Rica's human rights practices, particularly focusing on how the country treats non-citizens who have been removed there by the U.S. Government. The report must address alleged violations including arbitrary detention, torture, forced disappearances, human trafficking, and the conditions in Costa Rican detention facilities holding such individuals. The resolution also requires the State Department to describe what steps the U.S. has taken to protect these individuals' rights, assess whether U.S. security assistance could be misused against them, and provide information about any agreements or financial transactions related to removals to Costa Rica. There is no funding involved in this resolution, and the State Department has 30 days from adoption to submit the comprehensive report to the Senate and House foreign relations committees.
