§1. Request for information on Eswatini’s human rights practices
This section requests that the Secretary of State submit to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and House Committee on Foreign Affairs, not later than 30 days after adoption of this resolution, a statement on the Kingdom of Eswatini’s human rights practices—prepared in collaboration with the Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor and the Office of the Legal Adviser—pursuant to section 502B(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2304(c)), which requires human rights reports preceding certifications for security assistance to countries with gross violations. The statement must include (1) all available credible information on alleged violations by the Eswatini government (e.g., arbitrary arrest or detention, torture, enforced disappearances, killings, trafficking, and treatment of non-citizens removed to Eswatini by the United States); (2) U.S. government steps to promote human rights observance, discourage violations, disassociate from them, and assess pre-removal conditions for such non-citizens (including individualized assessments and assurances of legal status or humane treatment); and (3) other information such as assessments of potential misuse of U.S. security assistance for rendition or detention of U.S.-removed non-citizens, prison conditions, compliance with U.S. court return orders, protective actions, relevant agreements or transactions, 2025 removals, and facilitation of releases.
