HRES 1147 United States House · 118th Congress

Demanding that the international community hold accountable those who perpetrated acts of sexual violence and sexual torture during and after the attack on the State of Israel on October 7, 2023.

This resolution (HRES 1147) calls on the U.S. to urge the UN Security Council to investigate sexual violence and torture reported during Hamas' October 7, 2023, attack on Israel. It references a UN report finding "reasonable grounds" for incidents including rape, gang rape, and mutilation of victims, based on interviews, medical evidence, and survivor accounts. The resolution demands the international community hold perpetrators accountable for these acts. As a non-binding House resolution, it does not create new law but expresses congressional support for accountability through UN mechanisms.
