A resolution requesting information on the Republic of Kosovo's human rights practices pursuant to section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.

Key Points

• Sen. Kaine introduced a resolution that would force the State Department to give Congress a full report on human rights in Kosovo within 30 days. This is a formal step used to check if a country is following international laws.
• The report must look for evidence of serious crimes like torture, illegal killings, and human trafficking. It specifically asks about the treatment of people who are not from Kosovo but were sent there by the U.S. government.
• Congress wants to know if there were any secret agreements or money exchanged between the U.S. and Kosovo to take in these individuals. It also asks for a list of everyone the U.S. sent to Kosovo in 2025 and 2026.
• This action is important because it could affect whether the U.S. continues to provide military or security aid to Kosovo. If a country is found to be violating human rights, U.S. law may require cutting off that support.
