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

SRES 887 directs the Secretary of State to submit a detailed report to congressional committees within 30 days regarding human rights practices in the Republic of Palau, with a specific focus on individuals who are not Palauan citizens but have been removed there by the U.S. government. The required statement must include information on alleged violations such as arbitrary detention, torture, and trafficking, as well as an assessment of conditions in local prisons and detention centers. Additionally, the report must outline steps taken by the United States to promote human rights, assess the risk that U.S. security assistance could support these practices, and disclose any agreements or financial transactions related to the transfer of individuals to Palau.
