A resolution demanding that the international community hold accountable those who perpetrated acts of sexual violence and sexual torture during and after the attack on the State of Israel on October 7, 2023.
This Senate resolution (SRES 620) demands that the international community hold accountable those responsible for sexual violence and sexual torture during and after Hamas' October 7, 2023, attack on Israel. It cites a UN report (released March 4, 2024) that found "reasonable grounds" to believe such violence occurred at multiple locations, including kibbutzim and the Nova music festival site, involving rape, murder, and sexualized torture. The resolution specifically calls on the U.S. to urge the UN Security Council to open an official investigation into these allegations. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws but seeks to mobilize international accountability efforts.
