Republic of Somaliland Independence Act

This bill declares U.S. policy that Somalia's territorial claims over Somaliland are invalid. It authorizes the President to formally recognize Somaliland as an independent country. The bill directly affects U.S. foreign policy by enabling the executive branch to extend diplomatic recognition to Somaliland, though it does not require the President to do so. It does not alter Somaliland's status or create new obligations for the U.S. government beyond this recognition authority.
