Whereas a robust civil society is necessary for democracy to 
thrive; 
Whereas countries undergoing a transition to democracy 
often must build a system of civil society from the ground 
up; 
Whereas nongovernmental organizations around the world op-
erate on a nonpartisan basis to strengthen the processes 
and systems necessary for successful democracy, as well 
as increasing voter knowledge and citizen engagement; 
Whereas nongovernmental organizations promote civil society 
and play a key role in protecting human rights, human 
dignity, and human progress; 
Whereas nongovernmental organizations are essential to the 
development and success of free societies and play a vital 
role in ensuring accountable democratic government; 
Whereas the public interest is best served when private citi-
zens and members of civil society are able to choose the 
aims, organizations, and causes they support; 
Whereas acknowledgment of governments’ authority to regu-
late entities within their territory to promote the public 
welfare requires that such laws and administrative meas-
ures should protect, not impede, the peaceful operation of 
nongovernmental organizations and be enforced in an 
apolitical, fair, transparent, and consistent manner; 
Whereas the Government of Egypt, since January 2012, has 
placed the names of 43 nongovernmental organization 
workers, of whom 19 are United States citizens, on a ‘‘no 
exit’’ list, effectively detaining them in the country; and 
Whereas on February 5, 2012, the Government of Egypt has 
referred these same 43 nongovernmental organization 
workers to criminal court: Now, therefore, be it
