Track bills, resolutions, and amendments moving through Congress
Condemning the dictator of the People's Republic of China, Xi Jinping, for deceit, undermining prospects for peace and security, and orchestrating crimes against humanity.
The resolution raises important alarms about human-rights abuses, cyber threats, fentanyl flows, and environmental harms linked to PRC activity—potentially strengthening U.S. policy responses—but its strong rhetoric also risks economic retaliation, reduced diplomatic cooperation, harm to U.S.-China business ties, and increased domestic xenophobia.
PEACE Act
The bill increases U.S. diplomatic focus and reporting on antisemitism in Europe to improve community safety and policy oversight, but it is nonbinding and could strain diplomatic relationships and State Department resources.
United States Commission on International Religious Freedom Reauthorization Act of 2026
The bill keeps and funds the Commission on International Religious Freedom through 2028—sustaining monitoring of religious freedom abuses and funding stability—but does so at a modest additional federal cost and postpones Congressional reassessment of the Commission.
Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act of 2025
The bill makes it substantially easier for victims of Nazi‑looted art to recover property by removing time and jurisdictional barriers, while increasing litigation exposure, creating retroactive relitigation risk, and adding burdens on courts and defendants.
No Tax Dollars for Terrorists Act
The bill trades increased transparency, reporting, and conditionality designed to prevent U.S. aid from reaching the Taliban and to press for Afghan human rights against real risks of reduced humanitarian assistance, diminished diplomatic flexibility, operational-security exposure, and added administrative burdens.
Scam Compound Accountability and Mobilization Act
The bill strengthens coordinated U.S. enforcement, sanctions, and victim‑centered responses to disrupt international scam compounds and compensate victims, but does so at the cost of higher federal spending, compliance burdens, diplomatic friction, legal/due‑process risks, and uncertainty from a seven‑year sunset.
Expressing condemnation of the Chinese Communist Party's persecution of religious minority groups, including Christians, Muslims, and Buddhists and the detention of Pastor "Ezra" Jin Mingri and leaders of the Zion Church, and reaffirming the United States' global commitment to promote religious freedom and tolerance.
The resolution bolsters U.S. advocacy and legal backing for protecting religious freedom abroad, but doing so risks heightened tensions with China that could bring economic and consular consequences for Americans.
Uyghur Policy Act of 2025
Commemorating the 90th birthday of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama on July 6, 2025, as "A Day of Compassion" and expressing support for the human rights and distinct religious, cultural, linguistic, and historical identity of the Tibetan people.
The resolution provides symbolic U.S. recognition and moral backing for Tibetans and clarifies U.S. support for a negotiated settlement, but it risks straining relations and trade with China and may fall short of delivering concrete policy changes.
Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act of 2025
The bill strengthens U.S. ability to identify, sanction, and prosecute forced organ removal and protects victims and aid flows, but it does so by expanding executive sanction powers and reporting requirements in ways that could strain diplomacy, increase costs, and raise rights and due‑process concerns for some individuals.
No Dollars to Uyghur Forced Labor Act
The bill reduces U.S. involvement with goods linked to forced labor and increases oversight of foreign assistance procurement, but it will raise compliance burdens and could slow or complicate some aid operations.
Falun Gong Protection Act
The bill strengthens U.S. accountability and transparency to combat alleged forced organ harvesting and protects humanitarian aid, while trading off increased diplomatic friction, risks to scientific collaboration, business and legal burdens, and additional reporting costs.
Affirming that Hamas cannot retain any political or military control in the Gaza Strip.
The resolution clarifies and strengthens the U.S. stance by reaffirming Hamas's terrorist designation and documenting congressional findings, but it risks hardening public opinion and narrowing diplomatic and bipartisan flexibility.
Condemning Beijing's destruction of Hong Kong's democracy and rule of law.
The bill increases U.S. leverage to punish rights abuses and curb sanctions evasion in Hong Kong—helping dissidents and U.S. national security—but risks economic disruption and heightened diplomatic conflict with China that could hurt trade and complicate international cooperation.
Expressing the sense of the Senate that the United States shall not deploy United States military assets or personnel to Gaza for purposes of "taking over" Gaza.
The resolution emphasizes congressional oversight and diplomatic approaches to avoid costly U.S. ground operations in Gaza—saving taxpayer dollars and promoting self‑determination—while risking reduced rapid military flexibility and greater friction with allies and domestic politics.
Recognizing Human Rights Day on December 10, 2025, and commemorating the 77th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Celebration of "Human Rights Day".
Condemning the pardon of ex-Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez.
The resolution strengthens U.S. tools to hold foreign actors accountable and support prosecution of international drug trafficking but risks straining U.S.-Honduras cooperation, harming humanitarian assistance flows, and intensifying domestic political disputes.
Expressing the opposition of the Senate to the Chinese Communist Party's "stolen valor" historical revisionism with regard to Allied Victory in Asia, commemorating the contributions made by the Republic of China to Allied Victory, and acknowledging the postwar contributions of the Government of Japan to peace and stability in Asia.
The resolution reinforces U.S. alliances and supports historical recognition in education, but does so via rhetoric that could heighten tensions with China and politicize teaching without producing binding policy changes.
Recognizing religious freedom as a fundamental right, expressing support for international religious freedom as a cornerstone of United States foreign policy, and expressing concern over increased threats to and attacks on religious freedom around the world.
The resolution strengthens U.S. rhetorical and diplomatic tools to defend religious freedom internationally, but as a nonbinding statement that publicizes country-level allegations it may raise expectations and diplomatic/economic friction without providing resources to act.
Expressing the sense of the Senate that the 93rd anniversary of the Ukrainian Famine of 1932-1933, known as the "Holodomor", should serve as a reminder of repressive Soviet policies against the people of Ukraine, and that Vladimir Putin's brutal and unprovoked war against Ukraine once again threatens the existence of the Ukrainian people, while exacerbating the problems of global hunger.
The resolution increases U.S. diplomatic pressure and recognition of the Holodomor to protect global food supplies and honor victims, at the cost of raising the risk of geopolitical escalation, higher taxpayer-funded aid, and reduced diplomatic flexibility.
Honoring Wadee Alfayoumi, a 6-year-old Palestinian-American boy, murdered as a victim of a hate crime for his Palestinian-Muslim identity, in the State of Illinois.
The resolution affirms protections for children and condemns religious- and ethnicity-based targeting—raising awareness and moral support—while relying on nonbinding language that may politicize foreign-policy debates and produce little concrete legal or resource change without follow-up action.
Commemorating the seventh anniversary of the murder of Jamal Khashoggi and calling for accountability.
The resolution increases U.S. tools to identify and deter transnational repression and to hold perpetrators accountable, but it may strain relations with strategic partners and could unintentionally put vulnerable dissidents at greater risk without strong safeguards.
Supporting the designation of October 30 as the "International Day of Political Prisoners".
The resolution raises international attention and affirms solidarity for political prisoners—potentially aiding releases and advocacy—while risking diplomatic friction with labeled countries and creating public expectations it does not itself address.
Recognizing Nobel Prize winner Maria Corina Machado and reaffirming support for democracy in Venezuela.
The bill affirms U.S. support for democratic accountability in Venezuela and could help refugees and strengthen multilateral election norms, but may increase migration pressures, fiscal costs, and diplomatic friction.
Condemning the brutal Hamas-led terrorist attack on the State of Israel on October 7, 2023, and supporting an outcome that ensures the forever survival of Israel, the complete denial of Hamas's ability to reconstitute in the region, and the release of all the remaining hostages from the Gaza Strip, including two United States citizens.
The resolution reinforces U.S. support for Israel and strengthens counterterrorism posture, but may limit diplomatic flexibility and increase pressure for further U.S. political or material commitments (and costs) for Americans.
Condemning the treatment of Dr. Gubad Ibadoghlu by the Government of Azerbaijan and urging his immediate release.
The resolution increases diplomatic pressure to improve human-rights practices and affirms U.S. values, but risks straining bilateral ties and may have limited immediate legal effect for detainees while potentially reducing cooperation on security and economic projects.
Requesting information on the United Mexican States' human rights practices pursuant to section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.
The resolution increases transparency and U.S. oversight of removals to Mexico—better protecting migrants and informing Congress—while imposing reporting costs and risking diplomatic strain or reduced security cooperation.
Requesting information on the Republic of Rwanda's human rights practices pursuant to section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.
The resolution increases transparency and congressional oversight intended to prevent U.S. aid from enabling abuses and to inform at‑risk non‑U.S. nationals, but it risks harming privacy, constraining diplomatic flexibility, and disrupting security cooperation while imposing administrative burdens.
Requesting information on the Republic of Panama's human rights practices pursuant to section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.
The resolution increases transparency and congressional oversight of U.S. removals to Panama and related agreements—potentially protecting migrants and deterring abuse—while risking disclosure of sensitive information, added costs to bilateral programs, and administrative strain on State Department staff.
Requesting information on the Republic of Costa Rica's human rights practices pursuant to section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.
The bill increases transparency and oversight of U.S. involvement in Costa Rican detention and removal practices—potentially protecting immigrants and informing policymakers—at the cost of added administrative burden and risks to sensitive diplomatic and security operations and bilateral relations.
