SRES 796 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A resolution calling for accountability for grave violations of internationally recognized human rights in Cuba and malign activities against the United States and democratic countries in the Western Hemisphere committed by the Communist regime in Cuba.

SRES 796 is a Senate resolution calling for U.S. diplomatic action against Cuba's government over human rights violations and regional destabilizing activities. It urges the U.S. to maintain Cuba's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism, seek Cuba's expulsion from the UN Human Rights Council, and coordinate with allies to promote democracy in Cuba. The resolution also directs annual reports to Congress on U.S. efforts to advance democracy in Cuba and pressures countries like Mexico to address the trafficking of Cuban medical personnel. It specifically cites Cuba's suppression of dissent, ties to terrorist states, and role in Venezuela's crisis as justification. The resolution does not impose new laws but outlines diplomatic objectives for the U.S. government.
