This resolution unequivocally condemns the horrific 1994 bombing of the Asociacion Mutual Israelita Argentina (AMIA) Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires, which resulted in the deaths of 85 innocent people and injured hundreds more. It highlights the long-standing failure to bring those responsible to justice, specifically implicating Iran-backed operatives and their Hezbollah proxies . The resolution acknowledges recent significant developments in Argentina, including the Supreme Court's ruling affirming Iran's responsibility for the attack and declaring it a "crime against humanity." The House of Representatives calls for the immediate accountability of all perpetrators, including high-ranking Iranian and Hezbollah individuals, and demands that INTERPOL member countries comply with existing arrest orders. It commends the Government of Argentina for designating Hezbollah and Hamas as terrorist organizations and encourages other Latin American and Caribbean nations to follow suit. Furthermore, the resolution expresses solidarity with the Jewish community in Argentina and the broader diaspora, especially in light of surging global antisemitism, and supports Argentina's new law allowing trials in absentia for foreign suspects.
