Security Sector Governance Compacts Act

This bill creates a new ranking system to evaluate how well foreign security partners govern their military and police forces, directly affecting which countries receive U.S. security assistance. It requires the State Department to develop an index measuring factors like corruption levels, civilian oversight, and human rights records to classify partner nations into four tiers based on their governance quality. The legislation then restricts the types of aid each country can receive, allowing only training and non-lethal support for the lowest-ranked tier while permitting lethal weapons and advanced equipment for the highest-ranked tier. Additionally, the bill enables the U.S. to sign multi-year compacts with mid-tier partners to jointly plan and fund specific security improvements, with provisions for waiving restrictions for strategically important allies under strict congressional review.
