HRES 409 United States House · 119th Congress

Recognizing the ongoing Nakba and Palestinian refugees' rights.

This non-binding House resolution recognizes the ongoing Nakba (catastrophe) of Palestinian displacement since 1948 and affirms Palestinian refugees' rights under UN Resolution 194 and international law. It calls for commemorating the Nakba, denouncing current displacement efforts (including home demolitions and settlements), supporting UNRWA services for refugees, and ending U.S. weapons transfers used in forced removals. As a symbolic measure, it does not create new laws or directly affect refugees but aims to shape U.S. diplomatic policy by urging the government to reject denial of the Nakba and halt complicity. The resolution focuses on rhetorical recognition and policy alignment rather than concrete legal changes.
