Review and Reassessment of Civilian Harm from US Military Operations

This new act requires the Department of Defense to re-examine allegations of civilian harm from US military operations between 2011 and 2023, especially those potentially dismissed due to errors. The goal is to enhance transparency and accountability, preventing future mistakes and potentially leading to better protection of civilian rights.
Key points
The Department of Defense must re-investigate civilian harm allegations from 2011-2023 that may have been incorrectly dismissed.
Non-governmental organizations focused on civilian harm and human rights will be consulted in establishing review procedures.
The Department of Defense will report to Congress on identified errors, new findings, and steps taken, including potential ex gratia payments, to prevent future harm.
