## Summary

**Recognition of the Sikh Genocide of 1984**. This resolution would formally commemorate the violence against Sikhs across India in 1984 and urge accountability for perpetrators while rejecting denial of those events. - 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." - U.S. policy messaging would be shaped to reject efforts to associate the United States with denial of the genocide and to present recognition as a step toward accountability and reconciliation.
