A resolution requesting information on the Democratic Republic of the Congo's human rights practices pursuant to section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.

Report on DRC human rights

This resolution would ask the Secretary of State to send a written statement about human rights in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The report would be prepared with the Assistant Secretary for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor and the State Department Legal Adviser. It would be delivered to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the House Foreign Affairs Committee within 30 days after adoption. The report would list credible allegations of abuses, such as unlawful arrest, detention, torture, due process violations, disappearances, killings, and trafficking, and it would focus on non-citizens removed to the DRC by the United States. It would describe U.S. steps to promote human rights, pre-removal individualized assessments, assurances of humane treatment or legal status, and whether U.S. security assistance could enable rendition or detention. It would also include detention conditions, any agreements or payments linked to removals, people sent to the DRC in 2025 and 2026, and a summary of 2025–2026 meetings between DRC and Washington-based U.S. officials. The resolution would not authorize new funding; it would only request this one-time information briefing to Congress.
