SCONRES 20 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A concurrent resolution recognizing the decades-long effort of pro-democracy forces in Chile to end the dictatorship and restore civilian governance in the country.

SCONRES 20 is a symbolic U.S. Senate concurrent resolution recognizing Chile's pro-democracy movement for ending the Pinochet dictatorship and restoring civilian government. It expresses U.S. regret for historical U.S. involvement in destabilizing Chile's democracy, including CIA activities supporting the 1973 coup and Pinochet regime. The resolution specifically calls for declassifying U.S. records related to the 1973 coup and its aftermath, marking the 50th anniversary of the event. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws or directly affect any group, but affirms shared democratic values with Chile.
