Recognizing the Tenth Anniversary of the Chibok Girls Kidnapping by the Boko Haram Terrorist Organization and calling on the Government of Nigeria to redouble efforts to bring an end to the conflict in northeast and central Nigeria and to provide assistance to the victims.
HRES 1142 is a non-binding House resolution recognizing the 10th anniversary of Boko Haram's 2014 kidnapping of 276 Chibok schoolgirls in Nigeria and urging the Nigerian government to intensify efforts against Boko Haram. It specifically calls on Nigeria to prioritize recovering abducted women and girls, account for missing persons, reduce stigma against survivors, and allow family reunifications. The resolution also urges the U.S. government to implement existing anti-terrorism strategies and track missing persons for inclusion in annual reports. This resolution directly affects the Nigerian government and the remaining 98+ Chibok girls still held captive, alongside other victims of Boko Haram's violence. It does not create new law but formalizes a call for coordinated action to address ongoing captivity and conflict in Nigeria's northeast region.
