Reaffirming the commitment of the United States to cooperate and partner with the Government of Honduras to counter narcotics and condemning the pardon of Juan Orlando Hernández.

This resolution reaffirms the United States' dedication to its partnership with Honduras, focusing on critical areas such as security cooperation , counter-narcotics efforts , addressing migration, and promoting economic development. It also stresses the importance of a fair and transparent election process in Honduras. The resolution urges the Department of State to enhance its efforts to combat corruption and narcotics trafficking throughout Central America, specifically recommending the use of Magnitsky sanctions and coordinated law enforcement cooperation. A central provision of the resolution is its strong condemnation of the President's decision to grant a pardon to Juan Orlando Hernandez , the former Honduran President who was convicted in the United States on serious narcotics trafficking and related firearms charges. This pardon is viewed as undermining U.S. credibility in anti-corruption and counter-narcotics cooperation, potentially emboldening criminal syndicates and signaling that political influence can override the rule of law. The resolution expresses solidarity with victims of drug trafficking, corruption, and violence in both the United States and Honduras. Furthermore, it rejects the use of unauthorized military force against alleged narcoterrorists while simultaneously pardoning high-level individuals convicted in U.S. courts.
