HR 4804 United States House · 119th Congress

To authorize an annual strategic dialogue to return democratic rule to Belarus, and for other purposes.

This bill authorizes the U.S. Secretary of State to establish an annual strategic dialogue with Belarus's democratic movement. It seeks to support free elections, assist Belarusians abroad with essential services, address regional security impacts from Belarus and Russia, impose sanctions on President Lukashenka's regime for human rights abuses and support for Russia's Ukraine invasion, and facilitate the release of political prisoners. The dialogue directly affects Belarus's democratic opposition, citizens inside and outside Belarus, and civil society groups working toward democratic reforms. Key provisions include funding cultural programs, restoring democratic institutions, and coordinating regional responses to political instability.
