Reaffirming the goals and ideals of the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development Programme of Action in Cairo, Egypt, including comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights.
HRES 1299 is a non-binding resolution passed by the U.S. House of Representatives that reaffirms the United States' commitment to the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) Programme of Action, which promotes comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights as fundamental human rights. The resolution calls for advancing bodily autonomy, opposing reproductive coercion (such as forced abortion or sterilization), and increasing funding for international family planning programs while ending policies like the global gag rule and Helms Amendment. It does not create new laws but sets a policy direction for U.S. government actions on global health and human rights.
