Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This resolution asks the Secretary of State to provide Congress with detailed information about human rights practices in Burundi within 30 days of passage. The request is particularly focused on how the Burundi government treats non-citizens who have been removed there by the United States, including whether they face arbitrary arrest, torture, forced disappearance, trafficking, or other human rights violations. The resolution also asks the State Department to explain what steps the U.S. government has taken to promote human rights in Burundi, assess whether U.S. security assistance there could be misused, and provide information about any individuals sent to Burundi by the U.S. government in 2025 and 2026. Additionally, the resolution requests details about any agreements between the U.S. and Burundi regarding the removal or detention of individuals, as well as documentation of assurances sought about how these individuals would be treated.
