Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This Senate resolution requests that the Secretary of State provide detailed information within 30 days about Uganda's human rights practices, particularly focusing on how the Ugandan government treats non-citizens who have been removed there by the United States. The request covers alleged human rights violations including arbitrary detention, torture, forced disappearances, and human trafficking, as well as the treatment of individuals specifically sent to Uganda by the U.S. government in 2025 and 2026. The Secretary of State must also assess whether U.S. security assistance to Uganda could be used to support detention or imprisonment activities, describe any agreements or financial transactions between the two countries related to removals, and report on steps taken by the U.S. to promote human rights and protect individuals from unlawful removal to Uganda. No funding is authorized by this resolution, as it is an information request resolution rather than appropriations legislation. The resolution was introduced by Senator Kaine and referred to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
