Expressing condemnation for police brutality wherever in the world it occurs.

HRES 451 is a non-binding House resolution condemning police brutality globally and calling for specific U.S. policy changes. It directly affects U.S. foreign policy decisions by urging the government to halt arms exports and security assistance to countries with documented police brutality or impunity, and to end the use of militarized policing tactics domestically and internationally. The resolution also demands reallocating funds toward peacebuilding, mental health, and violence prevention programs instead of militarized policing. It emphasizes that police brutality disproportionately impacts vulnerable groups like racial minorities, migrants, and LGBTQIA+ individuals worldwide.
