Bill overview
This House Resolution affirms the United States’ longstanding recognition of the Armenian Genocide, which occurred between 1915 and 1923 when the Ottoman Empire systematically killed 1.5 million Armenians. It specifically directs the U.S. to reject any attempts to deny the genocide and to promote education and understanding about this historical event, including the U.S.’s humanitarian response. The resolution also connects this historical event to modern efforts at atrocity prevention.
