SRES 616 United States Senate · 119th Congress

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

SRES 616 is a Senate resolution requesting the State Department to provide detailed information about Honduras's human rights practices under former President Juan Orlando Hernández. The resolution requires the Secretary of State to submit a report within 30 days to congressional committees, specifically detailing alleged government corruption tied to drug cartels (including Sinaloa Cartel connections), torture, illegal detention, and efforts to undermine police reforms. It also mandates assessments of whether U.S. security aid might have supported drug trafficking activities and steps taken to hold Honduran officials accountable. This resolution directly affects the State Department (as the recipient of the request) and indirectly influences U.S. foreign aid decisions related to Honduras. It does not change policy but seeks information to inform potential congressional actions.
