A resolution requesting information on Azerbaijan's human rights practices pursuant to section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.

Senate Resolution 540 requests the U.S. State Department to provide Congress with a detailed report within 30 days on Azerbaijan's human rights practices, including specific violations like unlawful killings, torture, and restrictions on freedom of speech. The report must cover Azerbaijan's treatment of ethnic Armenians, judicial independence, and assessments of U.S. security assistance to Azerbaijan. This resolution does not alter existing law but mandates a review to inform future U.S. policy decisions regarding aid and diplomatic engagement.
