A resolution reaffirming the importance of the United States promoting the safety, health, and well-being of refugees and displaced persons in the United States and around the world.

This Senate resolution reaffirms the United States' commitment to promoting the safety, health, and well-being of refugees and displaced persons both domestically and worldwide, coinciding with World Refugee Day. It highlights the unprecedented global displacement crisis, with over 123 million people forced from their homes, and acknowledges the U.S.'s historical role and legal obligations under international and domestic law to protect asylum seekers and refugees. The resolution recognizes the significant contributions of refugees to U.S. communities and the importance of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program as a vital humanitarian and national security tool.

The resolution specifically calls for the immediate lifting of the indefinite suspension of the United States Refugee Admissions Program and the full restoration of asylum protections, rejecting harmful bans and restrictions. It urges key government officials, including the Secretaries of State, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services, to uphold the U.S.'s international leadership in responding to displacement crises, strengthen humanitarian assistance, and work with the international community to address root causes of involuntary migration. Furthermore, it advocates for robust refugee admissions goals, the implementation of pledges from the Global Refugee Forum, and the inclusion of refugees in policy solutions affecting them, while supporting vulnerable populations like LGBTQI+ individuals and those with disabilities.
