A joint resolution commemorating the fifth anniversary of the murder of Jamal Khashoggi and calling for accountability.

This joint resolution commemorates the fifth anniversary of the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who was killed in 2018 at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. It calls on the Saudi government to ensure accountability for those responsible for his death, release individuals wrongfully detained (including activists and dissidents), lift travel bans on critics, and respect freedoms of assembly and expression. The resolution notes that the U.S. has already sanctioned 17 Saudi officials under the Global Magnitsky Act for their role in the murder. As a non-binding resolution, it urges the executive branch to pursue these actions without creating new legal obligations.
