Ukraine Human Rights Policy Act of 2023
The Ukraine Human Rights Policy Act of 2023 requires the President to report to Congress within 60 days on whether a person meets criteria for sanctions related to human rights abuses in Ukraine and whether sanctions are imposed. It mandates the Secretary of State to include specific details in an annual report about human rights abuses by Russian forces in Ukraine and against forcibly relocated Ukrainians, including conditions in detention camps and the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war. The report must cover assessments of abuse methods, forced adoptions of Ukrainian children, efforts to renounce faith, and U.S. diplomatic efforts to address violations through sanctions. This bill establishes reporting requirements and congressional oversight for existing sanctions processes without creating new sanctions.
