  • Families and the U.S. Sikh community would get formal recognition and remembrance of the 1984 attacks. The resolution notes Sikhism has over 25 million followers worldwide and more than 500,000 in the United States.
  • Survivors and victims would see a U.S. call for justice, with the resolution urging that all perpetrators be brought to account regardless of rank. It highlights ongoing trauma, including the New Delhi "Widow Colony."
