SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the President should immediately marshal and support a 
        whole-of-government response by Federal agencies to address the 
        threat posed by the Government of the Russian Federation and to 
        work to prevent interference by that Government and other 
        foreign state actors in United States institutions and 
        democratic processes;
            (2) the President should publicly call for the Government 
        of the Russian Federation to return Crimea to the control of 
        the Government of Ukraine, end its support for Russian-led 
        forces violence in eastern Ukraine, end its occupation of and 
        support for Russian-led forces on the territory of Georgia and 
        Moldova, and cease enabling the brutal regime of Bashar al-
        Assad in Syria to commit war crimes;
            (3) the Russian Federation should--
                    (A) immediately release the Ukrainian sailors that 
                were detained following an attack by Russian forces on 
                Ukrainian vessels in the Kerch Strait; and
                    (B) abide by its commitments to freedom of 
                navigation in international waters and allow for 
                passage of Ukrainian vessels through the strait;
            (4) the President should unequivocally condemn and counter 
        the ongoing interference in United States institutions and 
        democratic processes by the President of the Russian 
        Federation, Vladimir Putin, his government, and affiliates of 
        his government;
            (5) the conclusion of the United States intelligence 
        community and law enforcement agencies and other United States 
        Government officials that the Russian Federation has 
        perpetrated, and continues to perpetrate, such interference, is 
        correct;
            (6) the United States should continue to participate 
        actively as a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
        by--
                    (A) upholding the Organization's core principles of 
                collective defense, democratic rule of law, and 
                peaceful settlement of disputes;
                    (B) boosting coordination and deterrence capacity 
                among member countries; and
                    (C) supporting accession processes of prospective 
                member countries who meet the obligations of 
                membership;
            (7) Congress reiterates its strong support for the Russia 
        Sanctions Review Act of 2017 (22 U.S.C. 9511), which allows for 
        congressional review of an action to waive the application of 
        sanctions under the provisions of the Countering America's 
        Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (Public Law 115-44; 131 Stat. 
        886) relating to the Russian Federation or a licensing action 
        that significantly alters United States foreign policy with 
        regard to the Russian Federation; and
            (8) sanctions imposed with respect to the Russian 
        Federation have been most effective when developed and 
        coordinated in close consultation with the European Union.

SEC. 3. STATEMENT OF POLICY ON CRIMEA.

    It is the policy of the United States that--
            (1) the United States will never recognize the illegal 
        attempted annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, 
        similar to the 1940 Welles Declaration in which the United 
        States refused to recognize the Soviet annexation of the Baltic 
        States;
            (2) Crimea is part of the sovereign territory of Ukraine;
            (3) Crimea is part of Ukraine and the United States rejects 
        attempts to change the status, demographics, or political 
        nature of Crimea;
            (4) the United States reaffirms its unwavering support for 
        democracy, human rights, and the rule of law for all 
        individuals in Crimea, including non-Russian ethnic groups and 
        religious minorities;
            (5) the United States condemns all human rights violations 
        against individuals in Crimea, and underscores the culpability 
        of the Government of the Russian Federation for such violations 
        while the territory of Crimea is under illegal Russian 
        occupation;
            (6) the United States, in coordination with the European 
        Union, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and members of 
        the international community, should prioritize efforts to 
        prevent the further consolidation of illegal occupying powers 
        in Crimea, reaffirm unified opposition to the actions of the 
        Russian Federation in Crimea, and secure the human rights of 
        individuals there; and
            (7) the United States welcomes the sanctions that have been 
        imposed and maintained as of the date of the enactment of this 
        Act by the United States and the European Union against persons 
        engaged in furthering the illegal occupation of Crimea by the 
        Russian Federation.

    (a) Report.--Not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment 
of this Act, the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 
Secretary of State, shall submit to the appropriate congressional 
committees a report with recommendations regarding the need for and 
suitability of transferring excess defense articles under this section 
to countries in the NATO alliance, with particular emphasis on the 
foreign policy benefits as it pertains to those member states currently 
purchasing defense articles or services from the Russian Federation.
    (b) Period for Review by Congress of Recommendations for EDA 
Transfer to NATO Members.--During the 30-calendar-day period following 
submission by the Secretary of Defense of the report required under 
subsection (a), the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and

information in order to fully review the recommendations included in 
the report.
    (c) Transfer Authority.--The President is authorized to transfer 
such excess defense articles in a fiscal year as the Secretary of

receipt of such articles was justified pursuant to the annual 
congressional presentation documents for military assistance programs, 
or for which receipt of such articles was separately justified to 
Congress, for such fiscal year.

            (4) with respect to a proposed transfer of such articles on 
        a grant basis, the President determines that the transfer is 
        preferable to a transfer on a sales basis, after taking into

        sales, and the comparative foreign policy benefits that may 
        accrue to the United States as the result of a transfer on 
        either a grant or sales basis; and
            (5) the President determines that the transfer of such 
        articles will not have an adverse impact on the national 
        technology and industrial base and, particularly, will not 
        reduce the opportunities of entities in the national technology 
        and industrial base to sell new or used equipment to the 
        countries to which such articles are transferred.
    (e) Terms of Transfers.--
            (1) No cost to recipient country.--Excess defense articles 
        may be transferred under this section without cost to the 
        recipient country.
            (2) Priority.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, 
        the delivery of excess defense articles under this section to 
        member countries of NATO that still purchase defense goods and 
        services from the Russian Federation and pledge to decrease 
        such purchases shall be given priority to the maximum extent 
        feasible over the delivery of such excess defense articles to 
        other countries.
            (3) Transportation and related costs.--
                    (A) In general.--Except as provided in subparagraph

                not be expended for crating, packing, handling, and 
                transportation of excess defense articles transferred 
                under the authority of this section.
                    (B) Exception.--The President may provide for the

                charge to a country for the costs of such 
                transportation if--
                            (i) it is determined that it is in the 
                        national interest of the United States to do 
                        so;

                        currently purchasing defense goods and services 
                        from the Russian Federation that has pledged to 
                        reduce such purchases;
                            (iii) the total weight of the transfer does

                            (iv) such transportation is accomplished on

              TITLE III--CHEMICAL WEAPONS NONPROLIFERATION

SEC. 301. SHORT TITLE.

    This title may be cited as the ``Chemical Weapons Nonproliferation 
Act of 2019''.

SEC. 302. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The international norm against the use of chemical 
        weapons has severely eroded since 2012. At least 4 actors 
        between 2012 and the date of the enactment of this Act have 
        used chemical weapons: Syria, North Korea, the Russian 
        Federation, and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in 
        Iraq and Syria.
            (2) On March 4, 2018, the Government of the Russian 
        Federation knowingly used novichok, a lethal chemical agent, in 
        an attempt to kill former Russian military intelligence officer 
        Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia, in Salisbury, United 
        Kingdom.
            (3) In September 2018, the Government of the United Kingdom 
        charged 2 Russian suspects with the poisoning of Sergei and 
        Yulia Skripal, further highlighting the culpability of the 
        Government of the Russian Federation in the attack.
            (4) On June 27, 2018, the Organisation for the Prohibition 
        of Chemical Weapons (commonly known as the ``OPCW''), during 
        its Fourth Special Session of the Conference of the States 
        Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention, adopted a decision 
        to ``put in place arrangements to identify the perpetrators of 
        the use of chemical weapons in the Syrian Arab Republic by 
        identifying and reporting on all information potentially 
        relevant to the origin of those chemical weapons in those 
        instances in which the OPCW Fact-Finding Mission in Syria 
        determines or has determined that use or likely use occurred, 
        and cases for which the OPCW-UN Joint Investigative Mechanism 
        has not issued a report; and decide[d] also that the 
        Secretariat shall provide regular reports on its investigations 
        to the Council and to the United Nations Secretary-General for 
        their consideration''.
            (5) In addition, during the Fourth Special Session, the 
        State Parties to the Chemical Weapons Convention voted to 
        provide new powers to the Director-General of the OPCW to 
        attribute chemical weapons attacks. The decision ``affirms 
        that, whenever a chemical weapons use occurs on the territory 
        of a State Party, those who were the perpetrators, organizers, 
        sponsors or otherwise involved should be identified, and 
        underscores the added value of the Secretariat conducting an 
        independent investigation of an alleged use of chemical weapons 
        with a view to facilitating universal attribution of all 
        chemical weapons attacks''.
            (6) Finally, the decision of the State Parties to the 
        Chemical Weapons Convention allows ``the Director-General, if 
        requested by a State Party investigating a possible chemical 
        weapons use on its territory, [to] provide technical expertise 
        to identify those who were perpetrators, organizers, sponsors 
        or otherwise involved in the use of chemicals as weapons''.
            (7) The Government of the Russian Federation attempted to 
        impede the adoption of the identification mechanism in the 
        Fourth Special Session, and has repeatedly worked to degrade 
        the OPCW's ability to identify chemical weapons users.
            (8) The Government of the Russian Federation has shown 
        itself to be unwilling or incapable of compelling the President 
        of Syria, Bashar al-Assad, an ally of the Russian Federation, 
        to stop using chemical weapons against the civilian population 
        in Syria.
            (9) The United States remains steadfast in its commitment 
        to its key ally the United Kingdom, its commitment to the 
        mutual defense of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and 
        its commitment to the Chemical Weapons Convention.
            (10) Thirty-four countries, including the United States, 
        have joined the International Partnership against Impunity for 
        the use of Chemical Weapons, which represents a political 
        commitment by participating countries to hold to account 
        persons responsible for the use of chemical weapons.
            (11) The Defense Ministry of the Government of the 
        Netherlands exposed 4 Russians as agents of the GRU 
        intelligence service who had attempted to hack OPCW networks 
        during the OPCW's investigation of the poisoning of Sergei and 
        Yulia Skripal in Salisbury, United Kingdom.

SEC. 303. STATEMENT OF POLICY.

    It shall be the policy of the United States--
            (1) to protect and defend the interests of the United 
        States, allies of the United States, and the international 
        community at large from the continuing threat of chemical 
        weapons and their proliferation;
            (2) to maintain a steadfast commitment to the Chemical 
        Weapons Convention and the OPCW;
            (3) to promote and strengthen the investigative and 
        identification mechanisms of the OPCW, including the 
        development of a new OPCW laboratory and enhancements to the 
        OPCW network of designated laboratories, through the provision 
        of additional resources and technical equipment to better allow 
        the OPCW to detect, identify, and attribute chemical weapons 
        attacks;
            (4) to pressure the Government of the Russian Federation to 
        halt its efforts to degrade the international efforts of the 
        United Nations and the OPCW to investigate chemical weapons 
        attacks and to designate perpetrators of such attacks by--
                    (A) highlighting within international fora, 
                including the United Nations General Assembly and the 
                OPCW, the repeated efforts of the Government of the 
                Russian Federation to degrade international efforts to 
                investigate chemical weapons attacks; and
                    (B) consulting with allies and partners of the 
                United States with respect to methods for strengthening 
                the investigative mechanisms of the OPCW;
            (5) to examine additional avenues for investigating, 
        identifying, and holding accountable chemical weapons users if 
        the Government of the Russian Federation continues in its 
        attempts to block or hinder investigations of the OPCW; and
            (6) to punish the Government of the Russian Federation for, 
        and deter that Government from, any chemical weapons production 
        and use through the imposition of sanctions, diplomatic 
        isolation, and the use of the mechanisms specified in the 
        Chemical Weapons Convention for violations of the Convention.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the Government of the Russian Federation has applied, 
        and continues to apply traditional uses of force, intelligence 
        operations, cyber attacks, and influence campaigns, including 
        through the use of corruption, disinformation, and cultural and 
        social influence, which represent clear and present threats to 
        the countries of Europe and Eurasia;
            (2) in response, governments in Europe and Eurasia should 
        redouble efforts to build resilience within their institutions, 
        political systems, and civil societies;
            (3) the United States Government supports the democratic 
        and rule of law-based institutions that the Government of the 
        Russian Federation seeks to undermine, including the North 
        Atlantic Treaty Organization, the Organization for Security and 
        Cooperation in Europe, and the European Union;
            (4) the United States Government should continue to work 
        with and strengthen such institutions, including the European 
        Union, as a partner against aggression by the Government of the 
        Russian Federation through the coordination of aid programs, 
        development assistance, and other efforts to counter malign 
        Russian influence;
            (5) the United States Government should continue to work

        and diplomatic efforts in Europe, including in European Union 
        and NATO countries, to address threats to fundamental human 
        rights and backsliding in rule of law protections, operating 
        space for independent media and civil society, and other 
        democratic institutions, whose strength is critical to 
        defending against malign Russian influence over the long term.

SEC. 707. ADDRESSING ABUSE AND MISUSE BY THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION OF 
              INTERPOL RED NOTICES AND RED DIFFUSIONS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The International Criminal Police Organization 
        (commonly known as ``INTERPOL'') works to prevent and fight 
        crime through enhanced cooperation and innovation on police and 
        security matters, including counterterrorism, cybercrime, 
        counternarcotics, and transnational organized crime.
            (2) United States membership and participation in INTERPOL 
        advances the national security and law enforcement interests of 
        the United States related to combating counterterrorism, 
        cybercrime, counternarcotics, and combating transnational 
        organized crime.
            (3) Article 2 of INTERPOL's Constitution states that the 
        organization aims ``[t]o ensure and promote the widest possible 
        mutual assistance between all criminal police authorities [. . 
        .] in the spirit of the `Universal Declaration of Human 
        Rights'''.
            (4) Article 3 of INTERPOL's Constitution states that, 
        ``[i]t is strictly forbidden for the Organization to undertake 
        any intervention or activities of a political, military, 
        religious or racial character.''.
            (5) Independent international nongovernmental organizations 
        have documented how several INTERPOL member countries, 
        including the Government of the Russian Federation and others, 
        have used INTERPOL's processes, including the red notice and 
        red diffusion mechanisms, for activities of a political 
        character.
    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the 
Government of the Russian Federation and the governments of certain 
other countries have repeatedly abused and misused INTERPOL's red 
notice and red diffusion mechanisms for overtly political purposes and 
activities such as harassing or persecuting political opponents, human 
rights defenders, or journalists.
    (c) Censure of Abusive Activity and Institutional Reforms.--The 
Attorney General, in coordination with the Secretary of State, shall 
use the voice, vote, and influence of the United States at INTERPOL--
            (1) to inform the General Secretariat about cases in which 
        countries are misusing its systems for activities of a 
        political character or other purposes contrary to INTERPOL's 
        Constitution, so that appropriate measures may be taken by 
        INTERPOL;
            (2) to advance institutional reforms at INTERPOL, including 
        in the General Secretariat, the Commission for the Control of 
        Files, and the Notices and Diffusions Task Force within the 
        General Secretariat, to prevent member countries from abusing 
        and misusing INTERPOL's red notice and diffusion mechanisms;
            (3) to increase, to the extent practicable, dedicated 
        funding to the Commission for the Control of Files and the 
        Notices and Diffusions Task Force in order to further expand 
        operations related to the review of requests for red notices 
        and red diffusions; and
            (4) to censure member countries that repeatedly abuse and 
        misuse INTERPOL's red notice and red diffusion mechanisms, 
        including restricting the access of those countries to 
        INTERPOL's data systems.
    (d) Report on United States Support for INTERPOL Reforms.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 90 days after the date of 
        the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State, in 
        consultation with the Attorney General, shall submit to the 
        appropriate congressional committees an unclassified report on 
        United States support for institutional reforms at INTERPOL 
        that are necessary to address abuse and misuse of INTERPOL's 
        red notice and red diffusion mechanisms.
            (2) Elements.--The report required by paragraph (1) shall 
        include--
                    (A) to the extent feasible, a description of United 
                States support for reforms that increase INTERPOL's 
                transparency with respect to--
                            (i) the number of red notices and red 
                        diffusions requested by each member country;
                            (ii) the number or proportion of requests 
                        for red notice or red diffusions rejected by 
                        INTERPOL, following internal review, for each 
                        member country;
                            (iii) how INTERPOL's General Secretariat 
                        identifies requests for red notice or red 
                        diffusions that are politically motivated or 
                        are otherwise in violation of INTERPOL's rules; 
                        and
                            (iv) how INTERPOL reviews and addresses 
                        cases in which a member country has abused or 
                        misused the red notice and red diffusion 
                        mechanisms for overtly political purposes; and
                    (B) a list of countries that the Secretary 
                determines have repeatedly abused and misused the red 
                notice and red diffusion mechanisms for political 
                purposes.
            (3) Public availability.--The report required by paragraph 
        (1) shall be posted on a publicly available interest website of 
        the Department of State and of the Department of Justice.
    (e) Prohibition Against Action on Abusive Red Notices and Red 
Diffusions.--An official of the United States may not take any action 
against a person based solely on the issuance of an INTERPOL red notice 
or red diffusion issued by a country identified on the list required by 
paragraph (2)(B) unless the Secretary, in consultation with the 
Attorney General, determines and certifies to the appropriate 
congressional committees that the red notice or red diffusion was not 
issued for political purposes.
    (f) Appropriate Congressional Committees Defined.--In this section, 
the term ``appropriate congressional committees'' means--

SEC. 708. REPORT ON ACCOUNTABILITY FOR WAR CRIMES AND CRIMES AGAINST 
              HUMANITY BY THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION IN SYRIA.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) In March 2016, Amnesty International issued a report 
        stating, ``Syrian and Russian forces have been deliberately 
        attacking health facilities in flagrant violation of 
        international humanitarian law. But what is truly egregious is 
        that wiping out hospitals appears to have become part of their 
        military strategy.''.
            (2) On September 21, 2017, Department of State Spokesperson 
        Heather Nauert said, ``The United States is concerned by 
        reports of airstrikes in Idlib province and northern Hama 
        province on September 19 and 20 that killed at least three 
        medical personnel and damaged a number of medical facilities, 
        emergency equipment, and civil defense centers. These attacks 
        fit an all-too-familiar pattern in which medical facilities and 
        personnel--and the civilians they serve--are victims of strikes 
        by the Syrian regime and its Russian allies.''.
            (3) In February 2018, Syrian and Russian airstrikes in 
        rebel-held areas killed 230 civilians and hit at least 9 
        medical facilities. In a statement on February 10, 2018, the 
        office of Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein, the United Nations High 
        Commissioner for Human Rights, said the airstrikes ``may, 
        depending on the circumstances, all constitute war crimes''.
            (4) On March 6, 2018, the United Nations Independent 
        International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic 
        noted, ``[I]n one particularly harmful attack on 13 November, 
        the Russian Air Force carried out airstrikes on a densely 
        populated civilian area in Atareb (Aleppo), killing at least 84 
        people and injuring another 150. Using unguided weapons, the 
        attack struck a market, police station, shops, and a 
        restaurant, and may amount to a war crime.''.
    (b) Report Required.--The Secretary of State shall submit to the 
appropriate congressional committees a report on alleged war crimes and 
crimes against humanity attributable to the Government of the Russian 
Federation or paramilitary forces or contractors responsive to the 
direction of that Government during the operations of that Government 
in Syria--
            (1) not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment 
        of this Act; and
            (2) not later than 180 days after the date on which the 
        Secretary of State determines that the violence in Syria has 
        ceased.
    (c) Elements.--Each report required by subsection (b) shall include 
the following:
            (1) A description of alleged war crimes and crimes against 
        humanity described in subsection (b), including--
                    (A) any such alleged crimes that may violate the 
                principle of medical neutrality and, if possible, an 
                identification of the individual or individuals who 
                engaged in or organized such crimes; and
                    (B) if possible, a description of the conventional 
                and unconventional weapons used for such alleged crimes 
                and the origins of such weapons.
            (2) An assessment of whether such alleged crimes constitute 
        war crimes or crimes against humanity, including genocide.
            (3) A description and assessment by the Office of Global 
        Criminal Justice of the Department of State, the United States 
        Agency for International Development, the Department of 
        Justice, and other appropriate Federal agencies, of programs 
        that the United States Government has undertaken to ensure 
        accountability for such alleged crimes, including programs--
                    (A) to train investigators within and outside of 
                Syria on how to document, investigate, develop findings 
                with respect to, and identify and locate alleged 
                perpetrators of, such alleged crimes, including--
                            (i) the number of United States Government 
                        or contractor personnel currently designated to 
                        work full-time on such training; and
                            (ii) an identification of the authorities 
                        and appropriations being used to support such 
                        training; and
                    (B) to document, collect, preserve, and protect 
                evidence of such alleged crimes, including support for 
                Syrian, foreign, and international nongovernmental 
                organizations, and other entities, including the 
                International, Impartial and Independent Mechanism to 
                Assist in the Investigation and Prosecution of Persons 
                Responsible for the Most Serious Crimes under 
                International Law Committed in the Syrian Arab Republic 
                since March 2011 and the Independent International 
                Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic of 
                the United Nations.
    (d) Protection of Witnesses and Evidence.--In preparing the report 
required by subsection (b), the Secretary shall take due care to ensure 
that the identities of witnesses and physical evidence are not publicly 
disclosed in a manner that might place such witnesses at risk of harm 
or encourage the destruction of such evidence by the Government of the 
Russian Federation or the Government of Syria, violent extremist 
groups, anti-government forces, or any other combatants or participants 
in the conflict in Syria.
    (e) Form.--Each report required by subsection (b) may be submitted
