US Aid Suspension to Honduras Over Human Rights Abuses

This act suspends US financial and military aid to Honduras until its security forces cease human rights violations and perpetrators are brought to justice. It aims to protect Honduran citizens from violence and corruption by the military and police, impacting their safety and access to justice.
Key points
The US will suspend aid, including equipment and training, to Honduras' police and military.
The US will vote against loans for Honduran security forces from multilateral development banks.
Aid will resume only when Honduras prosecutes human rights abusers, removes the military from domestic policing, and ensures a fair justice system.
The act seeks to protect journalists, human rights defenders, indigenous people, and other activists from persecution.
