This concurrent resolution commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Helsinki Final Act , signed on August 1, 1975, which established a comprehensive concept of security encompassing political-military, economic, and human rights dimensions. The Act codified 10 principles, known as "The Decalogue," that have formed the basis for the international order in the region covered by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and recognized human rights as integral to stability. The resolution highlights that these principles are currently threatened by irresponsible acts of certain states, specifically citing the Russian Federation's violations in Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia. It emphasizes that respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms is vital to democracy and security, particularly in the face of renewed threats in Eastern Europe and Eurasia. Congress, through this resolution, reasserts the United States' commitment to the full implementation of the Helsinki Final Act and continued participation in the OSCE. It urges all participating states to abide by their obligations and calls on public officials and citizens to observe this anniversary with appropriate programs, reinforcing the Act's foundational role in promoting security, prosperity, and peace.
