Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Introduced April 10, 2025 by Julie Johnson · Last progress 10 months ago
Condemns sexual and gender‑based violence used as a weapon of war in Kosovo and expresses outrage that no one has been convicted for the crimes committed against survivor Vasfije Krasniqi Goodman. It recounts her abduction and assault during the 1999 conflict, documents the long effort to seek accountability, and finds that justice for conflict‑related sexual violence in Kosovo has largely failed.
Calls on Kosovo and Serbia to investigate and prosecute perpetrators, urges the U.S. Government to elevate Goodman’s case in diplomatic talks with Serbia, to monitor and report on progress, and to support anti‑gender‑based‑violence measures in Kosovo including training and rehabilitation projects.
