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.

This Senate resolution asks the Secretary of State to send a statement on Palau's human rights practices to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the House Foreign Affairs Committee within 30 days after the resolution is adopted, under section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. The statement would cover alleged human rights violations by Palau's government, including how it treats non-citizens the United States has removed to Palau. It would also describe the steps the U.S. government has taken to promote human rights there and to assess conditions before removing people to Palau. It asks for information on any agreements, payments, assurances, and meetings between the two governments, and on people the U.S. sent to Palau in 2025 and 2026.
