Summary
Sanctioning Hizballah's Illicit Use of Civilians as Defenseless Shields Act This bill states that it shall be U.S. policy to condemn Hizballah's use of human shields as a gross violation of internationally recognized human rights. The President is urged to use U.S. influence at the United Nations Security Council to secure support for a resolution imposing multilateral sanctions against Hizballah for its use of human shields. The President shall: transmit to Congress and update a list of each foreign person or entity that is a member of, or acting on behalf of, Hizballah and that is responsible for, or complicit in, the use of human shields and each foreign person, entity, or instrumentality of a foreign state that has supported or facilitated such person or entity; impose asset blocking and U.S. exclusion sanctions against such person, entity, or instrumentality; and report to Congress on whether specified persons or instrumentalities meet such sanctions criteria. The President may waive the application of such sanctions for up to 120 days if the President reports that such waiver is vital to national security interests.
