Joint resolution urging the establishment of a National Human Rights Institution in the United States

This joint resolution urges the United States to create a National Human Rights Institution, a type of independent government body that other 120 countries have established to protect and promote human rights. The bill is based on United Nations recommendations and international standards that encourage nations to set up such institutions to oversee human rights issues. It would direct the Secretary of State to send the resolution to President Biden, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, and Vermont's congressional representatives. The measure does not create the institution itself but formally calls for its establishment and asks federal officials to consider the request.
