Referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. (text: CR S965-966)
This resolution requests that the Secretary of State submit a detailed report to Congress within 30 days documenting Cameroon's human rights practices, with particular focus on how the Cameroonian government treats non-citizens who have been removed or sent there by the United States. The report must cover alleged abuses including arbitrary detention, torture, enforced disappearances, human trafficking, and violations of due process rights—especially for individuals removed by the U.S. government. The resolution also requires information about U.S. diplomatic efforts to promote human rights in Cameroon, whether American security assistance could support abusive activities, and details about any individuals the U.S. has sent to Cameroon in 2025 and 2026. Additionally, the report must assess conditions in Cameroonian detention facilities and describe what steps the U.S. is taking to prevent unlawful removals to Cameroon and to secure the return of wrongfully sent individuals. This resolution essentially seeks congressional oversight of U.S.-Cameroon deportation and removal practices to ensure compliance with human rights standards and American law.
