Calling for accountability for grave violations of internationally recognized human rights in Cuba and malign activities against the United States and democratic countries in the Western Hemisphere committed by the Communist regime in Cuba.
HRES 1358 is a resolution passed by the U.S. House of Representatives calling for accountability for Cuba's violations of internationally recognized human rights and its support for activities harming U.S. interests and democratic nations. It urges the U.S. government to maintain sanctions on Cuba until a democratic transition begins, seek Cuba's expulsion from the UN Human Rights Council, and retain Cuba on the State Sponsors of Terrorism list. The resolution also requires the State Department to submit biannual reports to Congress on efforts to promote democracy in Cuba and calls for action against the trafficking of Cuban medical personnel abroad. This resolution expresses congressional policy but does not create binding law.
