AI-generated summary, report an errorThis Senate resolution asks the Secretary of State to send Congress's foreign affairs committees a statement on Ecuador's human rights practices within 30 days after the resolution is adopted, under section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. The statement would include available credible information on alleged human rights violations by Ecuador's government, including the treatment of non-Ecuadorian people the United States has removed to Ecuador. It would also describe U.S. steps to promote human rights in Ecuador and to assess, before removal, how Ecuador would treat those people. It asks for information on any U.S.-Ecuador agreements or payments related to these removals, on people sent to Ecuador in 2025 and 2026, and on meetings between officials of the two governments.
