Creates a Special Envoy to protect humanitarian aid workers and blocks aid to countries that harm them.
This bill would create a new Special Envoy within the State Department to advocate for humanitarian aid workers around the world. It would also stop certain US security assistance to foreign countries that unlawfully kill or injure these aid workers. Currently, there is no dedicated official or specific law to ensure such accountability and protection.
Today, the US government does not have a dedicated Special Envoy focused solely on humanitarian aid workers, nor a specific law that stops security assistance to countries that unlawfully harm them. This bill would create a Special Envoy within the State Department and establish an interagency group to investigate incidents involving aid workers. It would also prohibit certain security assistance to foreign countries that unlawfully kill or fatally injure aid workers, unless those countries take specific steps to address the issue.
