Affected Sectors

How to read this

Sectors are deterministic matches from official Congress.gov data and cached bill text. They are source-derived signals, not conclusions about intent or economic effect.

Evidence matches count official fields, normalized subjects, cached text snippets, or extracted entities that matched the sector rules.

Impact is a bill-level rollup used for sorting and filtering. It is not an economic impact estimate.

Confidence is the strongest individual match score behind that sector.

Evidence snippets show why a sector matched and can repeat when Congress.gov repeats the same phrase across official fields.

Affected-sector context is not available for this record yet.

Summary

00 Introduced in House Apr 3, 2004

Expresses the sense of the Congress that the President, the Secretary of State, and the Permanent Representative of the United States to the United Nations should be commended for, and should continue, their efforts to place Cuba on the human rights agenda of the United Nations. Commends specified countries for their votes in favor of considering human rights violations in Cuba. Urges specified countries to reconsider their positions with respect to this issue. Urges the United States to: (1) take the votes into account in determining U.S. bilateral and other assistance to all countries which are members of the United Nations Human Rights Commission; and (2) continue to emphasize how other countries vote on fundamental issues, such as human rights, in determining financial support for the United Nations and for the Commission. Urges the Commission to include among the highest priorities of its human rights agenda at its 44th session in Geneva, Switzerland, in 1988, consideration of human rights violations in Cuba.
