Recognizing the Kingdom of Bhutan as responsible for the oppression and forced eviction of more than 100,000 Bhutanese citizens during the late 1980s and 1990s.

This resolution declares that Bhutan is responsible for the oppression of Nepali-speaking Lhotshampas and Sharchops in Bhutan during the 1980s and 1990s. The resolution also (1) urges Bhutan to conduct a rapid and unconditional release of all political prisoners whose crime was demanding democracy and human rights, and (2) requests that Bhutan restore citizenship for all Nepali-speaking Lhotshampas that have had it arbitrarily revoked.

Bill 118 HRES 228, also known as the "Recognizing the Kingdom of Bhutan as responsible for the oppression and forced eviction of more than 100,000 Bhutanese citizens during the late 1980s and 1990s," is a resolution introduced in the US Congress. The resolution aims to acknowledge and bring attention to the human rights violations committed by the Kingdom of Bhutan against its own citizens.

During the late 1980s and 1990s, the Kingdom of Bhutan forcibly evicted more than 100,000 Bhutanese citizens, primarily of Nepali descent, from their homes. These citizens were subjected to oppression and discrimination, leading to their displacement and suffering. The resolution seeks to hold the Kingdom of Bhutan accountable for these actions and calls for justice for the affected individuals.

The resolution highlights the importance of recognizing and addressing human rights abuses, even when committed by foreign governments. By acknowledging the injustices faced by the Bhutanese citizens, the resolution aims to bring awareness to the ongoing struggles of marginalized communities and advocate for their rights and dignity. Overall, Bill 118 HRES 228 serves as a reminder of the importance of upholding human rights and condemning actions that violate the fundamental rights of individuals. It calls for accountability and justice for the victims of the forced evictions in Bhutan, and emphasizes the need for governments to respect the rights and dignity of all their citizens.
