HRES 597 United States House · 119th Congress

Condemning the attack on the Argentine Jewish Mutual Association Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in July 1994, and encouraging accountability for the attack.

HRES 597 is a congressional resolution condemning the 1994 bombing of Argentina's AMIA Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires, which killed 85 people and injured over 300. The resolution expresses support for Argentina's recent court ruling (April 2024) that declared Iran responsible for the attack as a crime against humanity, and urges accountability for Iranian officials and Hezbollah operatives involved. It calls on the U.S. government to support Argentina's efforts to hold perpetrators accountable, including through INTERPOL arrest requests, and commends Argentina for designating Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. The resolution primarily addresses the victims' families, the Argentine government's legal actions, and international efforts to pursue justice for this historic attack.
