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

This Senate resolution requests that the Secretary of State submit a detailed report to congressional committees regarding human rights practices in the Republic of Guinea-Bissau, with a specific focus on individuals transferred there by the U.S. government. The required statement must cover allegations of torture, arbitrary detention, and due process violations affecting these non-citizen transfers, as well as the legal status and treatment they receive while in Guinea-Bissau. Additionally, the report must assess whether U.S. security assistance could be used to support such activities and detail any agreements, assurances, or meetings between the two governments related to these removals during 2025 and 2026.
