AI Summary This summary was generated by AI from the bill text. AI can get information wrong.

This Senate resolution says that no country should threaten or use force to take over the land or borders of another country. It points to Russia’s invasion and ongoing occupation of Ukraine as an example of why this rule matters. The resolution is meant to restate U.S. support for protecting national borders and opposing the forced taking of territory by military power. It also echoes the idea that the United States should stand with democratic allies facing aggression.

  • It says the Senate reaffirms that one state must not use force against the territorial or political independence of another state.
  • It refers to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and Russia’s continued occupation of Ukrainian territory.
  • It includes a quote from President Reagan about supporting democratic allies and not giving in to aggression.
  • It is a Senate resolution, so it expresses the Senate’s position rather than creating a new law.

_______________________________________________________________________


                   IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

                             March 5, 2025

Mr. Welch submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the 
                     Committee on Foreign Relations

_______________________________________________________________________

                               RESOLUTION


 
   Reaffirming the fundamental principle prohibiting any state from 
           forcibly acquiring the territory of another state.

Whereas the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation invaded and continue to 
        occupy the sovereign territory of Ukraine; and
Whereas President Reagan said, ``We must stand by all our democratic allies. And 
        we must not break faith with those who are risking their lives . . . to 
        defy Soviet-supported aggression and secure rights which have been ours 
        from birth.'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate reaffirms the fundamental principle that 
no state shall threaten or use force against the territorial integrity 
or political integrity of any other state.
                                 <all>
