                               RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives relating to the 
      eradication of slavery where it exists throughout the world.

Whereas credible groups concerned with human rights have documented the 
        existence of slavery in many countries in the world;
Whereas the enslavement of one human being by another is a denial of the 
        humanity of the individual who is enslaved; and
Whereas the practice of slavery is often justified by those scourges of 
        civilized people--racial and religious prejudice: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives 
that--
            (1) the Secretary of State should include a full report on 
        slavery where it exists throughout the world in the annual 
        human rights report of the Secretary of State;
            (2) the United States Government should work with regional 
        organizations such as the Organization of American States, the 
        Organization of African Unity, the Association of Southeast 
        Asian Nations, and the Gulf Cooperation Council, as well as 
        with appropriate United Nations organizations, to draw up a 
        multinational plan to put an end to slavery where it exists 
        throughout the world; and
            (3) the eradication of slavery should be an important goal 
        of the United States Government in all of its activities.
