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 338 is a symbolic resolution designating April 17, 2025, as "Cambodian Genocide Remembrance Day" to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Khmer Rouge regime's genocide in Cambodia (1975-1979), which killed nearly 2 million people. It expresses congressional support for this designation, acknowledges the genocide's historical impact, and recognizes prior local/state designations of the day by cities like Lowell, Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Massachusetts. The resolution does not create new laws or policies but encourages reflection on the genocide's legacy and requests the President issue a proclamation for nationwide observance. It directly affects the U.S. government's formal recognition of this historical event, honoring Cambodian survivors and diaspora communities.
