<DELETED>SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    It is the sense of Congress that--</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (3) the Russian Federation should--</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (A) immediately release the Ukrainian 
                sailors that were detained following an attack by 
                Russian forces on Ukrainian vessels in the Kerch 
                Strait; and</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) abide by its commitments to freedom of 
                navigation in international waters and allow for 
                passage of Ukrainian vessels through the 
                strait;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (6) the United States should continue to 
        participate actively as a member of the North Atlantic Treaty 
        Organization by--</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (A) upholding the Organization's core 
                principles of collective defense, democratic rule of 
                law, and peaceful settlement of disputes;</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) boosting coordination and deterrence 
                capacity among member countries; and</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (C) supporting accession processes of 
                prospective member countries who meet the obligations 
                of membership;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (8) sanctions imposed with respect to the Russian 
        Federation have been most effective when developed and 
        coordinated in close consultation with the European 
        Union.</DELETED>

<DELETED>SEC. 3. STATEMENT OF POLICY ON CRIMEA.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    It is the policy of the United States that--</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) Crimea is part of the sovereign territory of 
        Ukraine;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (3) Crimea is part of Ukraine and the United 
        States rejects attempts to change the status, demographics, or 
        political nature of Crimea;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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.</DELETED>

              PROGRAM.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    (a) Report.--Not later than 60 days after the date of the

the Secretary of State, shall submit to the appropriate congressional

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.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (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

        articles to other countries.</DELETED>

                <DELETED>    (A) In general.--Except as provided in

    <DELETED>TITLE III--CHEMICAL WEAPONS NONPROLIFERATION</DELETED>

<DELETED>SEC. 301. SHORT TITLE.</DELETED>

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

<DELETED>SEC. 302. FINDINGS.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    Congress makes the following findings:</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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''.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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''.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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''.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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.</DELETED>

<DELETED>SEC. 303. STATEMENT OF POLICY.</DELETED>

        <DELETED>    (2) to maintain a steadfast commitment to the 
        Chemical Weapons Convention and the OPCW;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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--</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (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</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) consulting with allies and partners of 
                the United States with respect to methods for 
                strengthening the investigative mechanisms of the 
                OPCW;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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.</DELETED>

        of aid programs, development assistance, and other efforts to 
        counter malign Russian influence;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (5) the United States Government should continue

              FEDERATION OF INTERPOL RED NOTICES AND RED 
              DIFFUSIONS.</DELETED>

<DELETED>    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following 
findings:</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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'''.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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.''.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (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.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (c) Censure of Abusive Activity and Institutional 
Reforms.--The Attorney General, in coordination with the Secretary of

        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;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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;</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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.</DELETED>

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

<DELETED>    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following 
findings:</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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.''.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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.''.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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''.</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (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.''.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (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

        <DELETED>    (1) not later than 60 days after the date of the 
        enactment of this Act; and</DELETED>
        <DELETED>    (2) not later than 180 days after the date on

        Syria has ceased.</DELETED>

                possible, an identification of the individual or 
                individuals who engaged in or organized such crimes; 
                and</DELETED>
                <DELETED>    (B) if possible, a description of the 
                conventional and unconventional weapons used for such 
                alleged crimes and the origins of such 
                weapons.</DELETED>

                Republic of the United Nations.</DELETED>
<DELETED>    (d) Protection of Witnesses and Evidence.--In preparing 
the report required by subsection (b), the Secretary shall take due

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 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 recognized 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.

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

submission by the Secretary of Defense of the report required under 
subsection (a), the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and

the report.
    (c) Transfer Authority.--The President is authorized to transfer

congressional presentation documents for military assistance programs, 
or for which receipt of such articles was separately justified to

        a grant basis, the President determines that the transfer is 
        preferable to a transfer on a sales basis, after taking into

        accrue to the United States as the result of a transfer on 
        either a grant or sales basis; and

        articles will not have an adverse impact on the national

    (e) Terms of Transfers.--
            (1) No cost to recipient country.--Excess defense articles 
        may be transferred under this section without cost to the

        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

                            (i) it is determined that it is in the 
                        national interest of the United States to do

                        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 
                        not exceed 50,000 pounds; and
                            (iv) such transportation is accomplished on

        standards and integrity and not engage in disinformation 
        activities.

              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) Forty 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.

SEC. 706. COORDINATING AID AND ASSISTANCE ACROSS EUROPE AND EURASIA.

    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 
        with the individual countries of Europe and Eurasia to bolster 
        efforts to counter malign Russian influence in all its forms; 
        and
            (6) the United States Government should increase assistance 
        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 combatting counterterrorism, 
        cybercrime, counternarcotics, and combatting 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 INTERPOL 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 and information 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.

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

90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Attorney

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

SEC. 714. ADDRESSING OBSTRUCTION BY THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION OF 
              MULTILATERAL ACTION THROUGH THE UNITED NATIONS SECURITY 
              COUNCIL.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The Russian Federation routinely uses its veto power 
        and influence at the United Nations Security Council to 
        obstruct multilateral action on global challenges, undermining 
        the security of the United States and countries around the 
        world.
            (2) The Russian Federation has vetoed more than a dozen 
        United Nations Security Council resolutions dealing with Syria 
        since the beginning of the conflict in Syria in 2011, including 
        resolutions dealing with the use of chemical weapons, the 
        humanitarian situation in Syria, and violations of human 
        rights.
            (3) In recent years, the Russian Federation has blocked 
        United Nations Security Council action related to numerous 
        security challenges, including those in Ukraine, Yemen, and 
        Venezuela.
            (4) The Russian Federation continues to impede efforts by 
        the United Nations Security Council to enforce sanctions with 
        respect to North Korea, including sanctions relating to North 
        Korean laborers and exports of petroleum products.
    (b) Report Required.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than 180 days after the date of 
        the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall submit 
        to the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and the 
        Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives an 
        unclassified report on Russian obstruction of multilateral 
        action in the United Nations Security Council.
            (2) Elements.--The report required by paragraph (1) shall 
        describe--
                    (A) actions by the Russian Federation to block 
                multilateral action through the United Nations Security 
                Council counter to the policies of the United States;
                    (B) the benefits and disadvantages to United States 
                national security priorities of expanded United Nations 
                Security Council membership of both permanent and 
                rotating members;
                    (C) the position of the United States on United 
                Nations Security Council reform proposals presented by 
                other United Nations members and nongovernmental 
                actors; and

                the Russian Federation of multilateral action through 
                the United Nations Security Council.

SEC. 715. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON RESPONSIBILITY OF TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES 
              FOR STATE-SPONSORED DISINFORMATION.

    It is the sense of Congress that technology companies, particularly 
social media companies, share responsibility for ensuring that their 
platforms are free of disinformation sponsored by the Government of the 
Russian Federation and other foreign governments.

SEC. 716. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON POLITICAL PRISONERS IN THE RUSSIAN 
              FEDERATION.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the Government of the United States condemns the 
        deliberate targeting and detention of political prisoners 
        within the Russian Federation, including--
                    (A) peaceful protesters;
                    (B) civil society activists;
                    (C) human rights advocates;
                    (D) journalists;
                    (E) Crimean Tatars;
                    (F) members of a political organization considered 
                ``undesirable'' in the Russian Federation; and
                    (G) adherents of a religious group prohibited by 
                the Russian Federation; and
            (2) the President should seek to impose targeted sanctions 
        on government officials of the Russian Federation responsible 
        for human rights abuses under existing authorities, including 
        the Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act of 2012 
        (title IV of Public Law 112-208; 22 U.S.C. 5811 note) and the 
        Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act (subtitle F of 
        title XII of Public Law 114-328; 22 U.S.C. 2656 note).

SEC. 717. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON POLICY WITH RESPECT TO THE RUSSIAN 
              FEDERATION IN AFRICA.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) Russian President Vladimir Putin seeks to increase the 
        influence of the Russian Federation in Africa to--
                    (A) project power and strategic influence in the 
                international arena by taking advantage of African 
                countries, including some that are economically and 
                politically vulnerable, in an opportunistic and 
                exploitative manner;
                    (B) increase access by the Russian Federation to 
                natural resources and raw materials without respect for 
                international anti-corruption and transparency best 
                practices; and
                    (C) expand the market for goods and services from 
                the Russian Federation, especially arms, oil, gas, and 
                nuclear energy;
            (2) President Putin recently convened delegates from 45 
        African countries, including 43 heads of state in Sochi, 
        Russian Federation, at the first Russia-Africa Forum on October 
        23 and 24, 2019;
            (3) during the Russia-Africa Forum, 13 African leaders held 
        bilateral meetings with President Putin;
            (4) President Putin announced that the Russian Federation 
        had signed ``more than 30 military tactical cooperation 
        agreements'' including for a ``large array of weaponry and 
        hardware'' by the conclusion of the Russia-Africa Forum;
            (5) the Russia-Africa Forum resulted in a reported 
        $12,500,000,000 in business deals, largely in arms, and 
        President Putin announced a $40,000,000,000 goal for trade with 
        Africa;
            (6) from 2006 to 2018, total trade by the Russian 
        Federation with sub-Saharan Africa reportedly increased by 336 
        percent;
            (7) the Russian Federation is the largest arms exporter to 
        the African continent, accounting for 49 percent of the total 
        estimated value of arms exports to North Africa (mostly to 
        Algeria), and 28 percent to sub-Saharan Africa in the period 
        from 2014 through 2018;
            (8) as it did in the 2016 United States election, the 
        Russian Federation has interfered in a number of recent African 
        elections to further its national economic and political 
        interests;
            (9) activities by the Russian Federation in Africa 
        include--
                    (A) meddling in democratic electoral processes;
                    (B) offering low or no cost financing to 
                impoverished countries in exchange for lucrative 
                natural resource contracts for firms controlled by 
                Russian state-backed oligarchs;
                    (C) supplying arms and munitions to governments 
                with autocratic leanings as well as occasionally to 
                rebel leaders; and
                    (D) installing military and, in some instances, 
                political advisors in key decision-making circles;
            (10) Yevgeniy Prigozhin, a close associate of President 
        Putin, the Wagner Group, and other entities affiliated with 
        Yevgeniy Prigozhin are frequently at the center of election 
        interference efforts by the Russian Federation and are often 
        beneficiaries of associated natural resource contracts;
            (11) in Madagascar, after meeting with the incumbent 
        President of the country, President Putin reportedly authorized 
        an electoral disinformation campaign on social media and 
        bolstered multiple spoiler presidential candidates in exchange 
        for lucrative mining concessions for a company controlled by 
        Yevgeniy Prigozhin;
            (12) in Guinea, the Russian Federation is supporting the 
        attempt by President Alpha Conde to overturn the Constitution 
        of Guinea and serve a third 5-year term, likely to preserve 
        access to Guinean bauxite for the top aluminum company in the 
        Russian Federation, Rusal;
            (13) in the Central African Republic, President Faustin-
        Archange Touadera appointed a former Russian intelligence 
        official as his security advisor and Moscow deployed soldiers 
        and private military contractors to train Central African 
        soldiers, reportedly in exchange for diamond and gold mining 
        access for entities affiliated with Yevgeniy Prigozhin;
            (14) in Libya, President Putin has reportedly disregarded 
        the United Nations arms embargo with respect to that country 
        and sent arms and mercenaries to bolster rebel General Khalifa 
        Haftar, calculating that control by General Haftar of the oil 
        rich regions of Libya would be in the economic best interests 
        of the Russian Federation;
            (15) in Sudan, interventions by the Russian Federation 
        range from arming the regime of former President Omar al 
        Bashir, to blocking United Nations Security Council sanctions 
        designations linked to the Darfur conflict, to facilitating 
        violent efforts to suppress opposition protests in early 2019 
        as the Russian Federation sought to preserve its mining and 
        energy contracts and gain strategic access to the Red Sea; and
            (16) in Zimbabwe, the Russian Federation courted President 
        Emmerson Mnangagwa when he went to Moscow seeking loans to 
        alleviate an economic crisis, with opportunities for the 
        Russian Federation to invest in oil and gas, diamond, and 
        platinum concessions from Zimbabwe as the likely draw.
