SRES 743 United States Senate · 118th Congress

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 non-binding Senate resolution (SRES 743) reaffirms U.S. commitment to refugee and displaced persons' safety, health, and well-being, referencing the UNHCR's 2023 report showing over 117 million displaced people globally. It highlights statistics on refugee crises (e.g., 9.7 million displaced Ukrainians, 6.4 million Afghan refugees) and emphasizes the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program's role in resettling vulnerable refugees. The resolution calls on federal agencies to uphold existing policies, support international refugee protection efforts, and meet refugee admissions goals without creating new legal obligations or altering current programs. It serves as a symbolic statement of bipartisan support rather than enacting policy changes.
