| 99-sconres-115 | 99 | sconres | 115 | A concurrent resolution expressing the opposition of the United States to the forcible resettlement and systematic oppression of the Ethiopian people. | International Affairs | 1986-03-12 | 1986-03-12 | Referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. | Senate | Sen. Trible, Paul S., Jr. [R-VA] | VA | R | T000367 | 11 | Urges the President with respect to the Ethiopian Government's resettlement program to consider: (1) prohibiting the importation of Ethiopian goods and services; (2) removing Ethiopia's generalized system of preferences and most-favored-nation trade status; (3) forbidding U.S. businesses from extending loans to or making investments in the Ethiopian Government; and (4) instructing U.S. representatives to international lending institutions to vote against furnishing assistance to Ethiopia. Expresses the sense of the Congress that the President should: (1) call upon the United Nations and other donors to monitor all resettlement efforts in Ethiopia to ensure that coercion is not used; (2) request the Ethiopian Government to place a moratorium on relocations that may cause suffering or death and on relocations of persons who are sympathetic to anti-Government rebels; (3) request that the Ethiopian Government commit sufficient resources to existing resettlement camps; (4) insist that international observers be given access to all resettlement camps; and (5) ensure that the United States continues to raise this issue in every appropriate international forum, including the United Nations. Requests the Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights and Humanitarian Affairs to transmit, within 30 days, to the Congress a report indicating the number of Ethiopians who have died as a result of the resettlement program and to transmit a copy of this Act to specified individuals. | 2025-01-14T19:00:46Z |
