## Summary

**Accountability for Jamal Khashoggi's murder**. This resolution would press Saudi Arabia to hold those responsible to account, seek release of named detainees, and spotlight transnational repression of journalists and exiles. - It would note that the United States has sanctioned 17 Saudi individuals under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act and call on Saudi authorities to ensure accountability for all involved in Khashoggi’s killing. - It would call for the release of specific wrongfully detained people, naming Nourah al-Qahtani, Abdulrahman Alsadhan, Salman Alodah, Waleed Abu al-Khair, and Sarah and Omar Aljabri. - It would highlight broader threats of "transnational repression," citing Freedom House and G7 concern, and note that 26 governments carried out 124 incidents against dissidents and journalists since 2014.
