It notes that the U.S. government has sanctioned 17 Saudi individuals under the Global Magnitsky Act for their roles in the killing. It calls on the Government of Saudi Arabia to hold accountable everyone responsible for the killing, to release named people the resolution describes as wrongfully detained, and to protect the freedoms of assembly, association, and the press. The resolution does not create new laws or penalties.
