Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This Senate resolution requests that the Secretary of State provide a detailed report to Congress about human rights violations in Venezuela within 30 days of the resolution's adoption. The report must cover alleged abuses by the Venezuelan government since January 2025, including arbitrary detention, enforced disappearance, torture, and suppression of political opposition and press freedom, with specific focus on actions by named Venezuelan officials including acting president Delcy Rodriguez and other government ministers. The resolution also asks the State Department to assess whether any U.S. security assistance provided to Venezuela has been used to support repression and detention, evaluate the effectiveness of such assistance in promoting democracy, and describe steps the U.S. has taken to discourage human rights abuses and promote democratic principles. Additionally, the report should evaluate Venezuela's amnesty law enacted in February 2026, conditions in political prisons, and whether Venezuela's government violated its constitutional obligation to hold presidential elections. This is a nonbinding resolution intended to direct executive branch action and provide Congress with information on Venezuela's human rights record.
