A bill to provide for the appointment of a Special Envoy for Belarus.

S 2689 establishes a new Special Envoy position within the U.S. Department of State to focus on Belarus. The envoy, appointed by the President with expertise in European security and human rights, coordinates efforts to improve human rights in Belarus, addresses security concerns related to Belarus's political alignment, and supports regional stability. Key duties include engaging Belarusian officials, collaborating with international partners (like the UN and EU), consulting NGOs, and developing action plans for accountability on human rights violations documented in UN reports. The position is full-time, temporary (ending 5 years after enactment), and only exists while U.S. diplomatic operations in Minsk remain suspended.
