A resolution reaffirming the importance of the United States promoting the safety, health, and well-being of refugees and displaced persons in the United States and around the world.
This Senate resolution (SRES 258) reaffirms the U.S. commitment to supporting refugees and displaced persons globally and domestically. It urges the administration to meet robust refugee admissions goals (noting only 31,797 arrived in the U.S. by May 2023, far below the 125,000 target), uphold asylum protections under the Refugee Act of 1980, and strengthen partnerships with the UNHCR. The resolution specifically calls for increased U.S. leadership in humanitarian aid, addressing root causes of displacement, and ensuring refugees have access to education and livelihoods. It directly affects refugees seeking resettlement in the U.S. and global host countries bearing the burden of displacement crises.
