Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This Senate resolution requests the State Department to provide detailed information about Sierra Leone's human rights practices within 30 days, with a specific focus on how the U.S. government has handled the removal of non-citizens to that country. The information request is made under existing law that ties U.S. foreign assistance to countries' human rights records. The State Department must report on alleged violations by Sierra Leone's government including torture, unlawful detention, forced disappearances, human trafficking, and the treatment of individuals the United States has removed to Sierra Leone. The resolution also requires the State Department to assess whether U.S. security assistance to Sierra Leone could be misused and to detail any agreements, meetings, or assurances between the two governments regarding these removed individuals. There is no funding associated with this resolution, as it simply requests information that the executive branch should already be compiling under existing law.
