This resolution (SRES 195) directs the U.S. Secretary of State to submit a detailed report to Congress within 30 days on El Salvador’s human rights practices. The report must include verified information about alleged violations such as torture, forced disappearances, judicial independence concerns, and the treatment of foreign nationals detained in El Salvador. It also requires assessments of whether U.S. security assistance could be misused and actions taken to protect U.S. citizens detained there. The resolution specifically requests this information under Section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act, which governs human rights conditions for foreign aid. The report will inform Congress’s oversight of U.S. policy toward El Salvador.
