HRES 358 United States House · 119th Congress

A resolution seeking justice for the Japanese citizens abducted by North Korea.

This resolution (HRES 358) calls on North Korea to release all abducted Japanese citizens, return remains and information about deceased victims, provide restitution, and issue a formal apology for abductions that began in the 1970s. It directly addresses the families of Japanese citizens held by North Korea and seeks to hold North Korea accountable for violating human rights. The resolution, introduced by Representatives Kiggans and Tokuda, is a symbolic House action with no new legal requirements or funding. It emphasizes the U.S. position that such abductions conflict with fundamental freedoms and human rights principles.
