Bill overview
This House Resolution urges the United States to pressure the United Nations Security Council to investigate allegations of sexual violence and torture committed during and after the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. The resolution cites a report by the UN Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict, which found reasonable grounds to believe that conflict-related sexual violence, including rape and torture, occurred in multiple locations. It calls for the international community to hold those responsible accountable for these atrocities. The resolution acknowledges the visit undertaken by the SRSG–SVC was not intended as an investigation, but highlights the severity of the documented findings.
