## Summary

**Restore refugee resettlement** as a central U.S. policy. This resolution would reaffirm U.S. leadership on forced displacement and push for humane asylum rules, stronger protection for displaced children, and coordinated international relief. - Families and refugees: Would call for restoration of asylum protections and the United States Refugee Admissions Program and for education and livelihood support for refugee children and displaced families. - Host countries and aid: Would urge increased humanitarian and development assistance and more support for the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees and nongovernmental organizations, noting about 117 million people are displaced and 68 percent of refugees live in low- and middle-income countries. - U.S. policy and admissions: Would criticize low FY2026 admissions set at 7,500 and the addition of 10,000 admissions for Afrikaners from South Africa, and would direct the State Department, Department of Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services to coordinate to meet robust admissions goals and international pledges.
