HRES 1478 United States House · 119th Congress

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding United States policy recognizing the Simele Massacre of 1933.

This resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States should officially recognize and commemorate the 1933 Simele Massacre, during which Iraqi government forces killed thousands of unarmed Assyrian civilians. The bill directs the U.S. government to reject any attempts to associate the country with denying the event and encourages public education about the massacre and the U.S. role in providing humanitarian aid at the time. As a non-binding measure, it does not create new laws or funding but instead establishes a formal policy stance to support remembrance and prevent the denial of historical atrocities.
