A resolution requesting information on the Republic of Burundi'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 Burundi's human rights practices to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the House Foreign Affairs Committee within 30 days after the resolution is adopted. The statement would cover alleged human rights violations by Burundi's government, including how it treats people who are not citizens of Burundi but were removed there by the United States. It would also describe what steps the U.S. government has taken on human rights in Burundi, whether U.S. security assistance could be used in detaining or transferring such people, and any agreements, payments, or assurances between the two governments about these removals. The statement would also include information on people the U.S. sent to Burundi in 2025 and 2026 and a summary of meetings between officials of the two governments in those years.
