SRES 879 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution requesting information on the Republic of Ecuador's human rights practices pursuant to section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.

This Senate resolution requires the Secretary of State to submit a detailed report to congressional committees within 30 days regarding human rights practices in Ecuador, with a specific focus on individuals who are not U.S. citizens but have been removed to that country by the U.S. government. The requested statement must document alleged violations such as arbitrary detention, torture, and enforced disappearances affecting these transferred individuals, as well as the legal protections they receive under Ecuadorian law. Additionally, the report must outline steps taken by the U.S. government to promote human rights in Ecuador, assess the risk that U.S. security assistance could support abusive practices, and disclose any agreements or financial transactions related to the removal of these individuals. The resolution also demands information on pre-removal assessments conducted by the U.S., conditions in Ecuadorian detention facilities, and efforts to facilitate the return of wrongfully removed persons.
