Summary of Bill HRES 943
Bill 118 H.Res. 943 calls for the annulment of the Monroe Doctrine, a longstanding US foreign policy that asserted American dominance in the Western Hemisphere, and the development of a "New Good Neighbor" policy. The purpose of this bill is to improve relations and promote more effective cooperation between the United States and its Latin American and Caribbean neighbors.
The Monroe Doctrine, established in 1823, has been criticized for promoting US intervention and imperialism in the region. The bill argues that it is time to move away from this outdated policy and work towards a more collaborative and respectful relationship with our neighbors to the south.
The "New Good Neighbor" policy aims to foster mutual respect, cooperation, and partnership with Latin American and Caribbean countries. This includes promoting economic development, addressing shared challenges such as climate change and security threats, and respecting the sovereignty and self-determination of all nations in the region. By annuling the Monroe Doctrine and adopting a "New Good Neighbor" policy, the United States hopes to build stronger, more positive relationships with its neighbors in the Western Hemisphere. This bill emphasizes the importance of diplomacy, cooperation, and mutual understanding in promoting peace and prosperity in the region.
