Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This resolution requests that the U.S. Secretary of State submit a detailed report on human rights practices in Guinea-Bissau within 30 days. The report must be prepared with input from the State Department's human rights office and legal advisers, and should cover alleged violations such as arbitrary arrest, torture, enforced disappearances, human trafficking, and mistreatment of non-citizens who have been sent to Guinea-Bissau by the U.S. government. The resolution specifically requires information about any individuals the United States has removed to Guinea-Bissau since 2025, assessments of whether U.S. security assistance could be misused, and details about any agreements or financial transactions between the two countries related to detention or removal of foreign nationals. The report must also describe efforts the U.S. has taken to promote human rights in Guinea-Bissau and to protect individuals from wrongful removal or mistreatment. This resolution is non-binding and does not provide funding, but it directs the executive branch to produce comprehensive documentation on a sensitive foreign policy matter.
