Expressing support for the designation of April 17, 2025, as "Cambodian Genocide Remembrance Day" to remember the horrific slaughter of almost 2,000,000 Cambodian people at the hand of the Khmer Rouge regime.

HRES 1156 is a symbolic resolution expressing the U.S. House of Representatives' support for designating April 17, 2025, as "Cambodian Genocide Remembrance Day." It commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Khmer Rouge regime's takeover of Cambodia on April 17, 1975, which led to the deaths of nearly 2 million Cambodians. The resolution does not create new laws or affect any individuals; it solely urges the President to issue a proclamation encouraging national observance of this day to honor victims and survivors. It follows similar recognitions by cities like Lowell and Los Angeles, and the state of Massachusetts.
