A resolution seeking justice for the Japanese citizens abducted by North Korea.

This resolution (SRES 186) calls on North Korea to address the abduction of Japanese citizens, which began in the 1970s and saw only five returnees after 24 years despite North Korea's 2002 admission. It specifically urges North Korea to release any remaining abductees, return remains and provide details on deceased victims, make appropriate reparations, and issue a formal apology. The resolution, introduced by Senators Sullivan and Hirono, formally expresses the Senate's stance on this issue without creating new laws or imposing penalties.
