Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This resolution commends President Trump for negotiating a peace agreement between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where decades of conflict have displaced millions and created a severe humanitarian crisis affecting nearly 25 million people. The resolution acknowledges the region's ongoing violence by armed groups like M23 and the Allied Democratic Forces, which finance themselves through illegal mining of valuable minerals—including child labor—and commit atrocities including murder, rape, and forced conscription. The resolution calls on Congress and the President to support diplomatic peace processes, sanction corrupt actors and armed groups responsible for war crimes, strengthen supply chain regulations for conflict minerals, and promote commercial mineral agreements between the United States, DRC, and Rwanda. There is no specific funding allocated or timeline established; the resolution is primarily a statement of congressional support for diplomatic efforts and recommendations for executive action to promote lasting peace and accountability in the region.
