Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This Senate resolution requests that the State Department submit a detailed report within 30 days examining Belize's human rights practices, particularly regarding how the country treats foreign nationals who have been removed there by the United States government. The report must address alleged violations including arbitrary arrest, torture, enforced disappearances, human trafficking, and extrajudicial killings, with special focus on non-citizens sent to Belize by U.S. authorities. The resolution also requires the State Department to describe what steps the United States has taken to promote human rights in Belize, assess whether U.S. security assistance could be misused against vulnerable populations, and provide comprehensive information about individuals removed to Belize in 2025 and 2026. The report must be submitted to both the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and prepared in collaboration with the Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor.
