Supporting Diplomatic Boycott of Beijing Olympics Due to Human Rights Abuses.

This resolution urges the U.S. government not to send an official delegation to the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics. This aims to highlight severe human rights violations in China, such as genocide and repression. It will not prevent U.S. athletes from participating, but will underscore opposition to the Chinese government's actions.
Key points
The U.S. government should decline official invitations to the Beijing Games unless China stops committing genocide or the Games are moved.
The International Olympic Committee is encouraged to develop rules for penalizing host countries that commit mass atrocities.
U.S. athletes are still permitted to attend and compete; the boycott only applies to government representatives.
