Senate would ask for a report on Venezuela's human rights.

This resolution would ask the Secretary of State to send Congress a detailed report on human rights in Venezuela. The report would be due in 30 days. It would cover alleged abuses by Venezuela's government and its officials, plus what the U.S. has done to support human rights there.

What Would Change

Currently, the Senate has not formally requested a specific, detailed report on Venezuela's human rights practices from the Secretary of State. If this resolution passes, the Secretary of State would be required to submit such a report to Congress within 30 days, covering specific abuses, officials, and U.S. actions to promote human rights.
