                               RESOLUTION


 
  Deploring the ongoing violence by Iraqi security forces against the 
                   residents of Camp Ashraf in Iraq.

Whereas on July 28, 2009, Iraqi troops and police carried out a violent raid 
        against the residents of Camp Ashraf in Iraq, the longstanding home of 
        an Iranian opposition group;
Whereas Iraqi troops fatally shot a number of Camp Ashraf residents and wounded 
        scores of others; and
Whereas the United States Embassy Statement on Transfer of Security 
        Responsibility for Camp Ashraf of December 28, 2008, states that, ``The 
        Government of Iraq has provided the US Government written assurances of 
        humane treatment of the Camp Ashraf residents in accordance with Iraq's 
        Constitution, laws and international obligations.'': Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) deplores the ongoing violence by Iraqi security forces 
        against the residents of Camp Ashraf;
            (2) calls upon the Iraqi Government to live up to its 
        commitment to the United States to ensure the continued well-
        being of those living in Camp Ashraf and prevent their 
        involuntary return to Iran; and
            (3) calls upon the President to take all necessary and 
        appropriate steps to support the commitments of the United 
        States under international law and treaty obligations to ensure 
        the physical security and protection of Camp Ashraf residents 
        against inhumane treatment and involuntary deportation by Iraqi 
        security forces.
