US Congress Misses Key Opportunity to Promote Rights (Leah Hebron, Kate Weine, HRW)

December 16, 2021

Today, the US Congress passed the annual defense spending bill. The legislation leaves out several significant human rights priorities, despite efforts from some lawmakers.

Each year, legislators actively seek to include their own amendments in the final bill – known as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) – to ensure passage of the things they care about, even if only tangentially related to defense. Over the past several months, as Congress has negotiated to advance different versions of the legislation, human rights-related amendments were variously added and removed.
