(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find-
ings: 
(1) The principle of collective defense of the 
North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is im-
mortalized in Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty 
in which members pledge that ‘‘an armed attack 
against one or more of them in Europe or North 
America shall be considered an attack against them 
all’’. 
(2) For almost 7 decades, the principle of col-
lective defense has effectively served as a strategic 
deterrent for the member nations of the North At-

lantic Treaty Organization and provided stability 
throughout the world, strengthening the security of 
the United States and all 28 other member nations. 
(3) Following the September 11, 2001, terrorist 
attacks in New York, Washington, and Pennsyl-
vania, the Alliance agreed to invoke Article 5 for the 
first time, affirming its commitment to collective de-
fense. 
(4) Countries that are members of the North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization have made historic 
contributions and sacrifices while combating ter-
rorism in Afghanistan through the International Se-
curity Assistance Force and the Resolute Support 
Mission. 
(5) The recent attacks in the United Kingdom 
underscore the importance of an international alli-
ance to combat hostile nation states and terrorist 
groups. 
(6) At the 2014 NATO summit in Wales, the 
member countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Or-
ganization decided that all countries that are mem-
bers of NATO would spend an amount equal to 2 
percent of their gross domestic product on defense 
by 2024.

(7) Collective defense unites the 29 members of 
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, each com-
mitting to protecting and supporting one another 
from external adversaries, which bolsters the North 
Atlantic Alliance. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress—

of the North Atlantic Treaty, the charter of the 
North Atlantic Treaty Organization, as it continues 
to serve as a critical deterrent to potential hostile 
nations and terrorist organizations; 
(2) to remember the first and only invocation of 
Article 5 by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
in support of the United States after the terrorist 
attacks of September 11, 2001; 
(3) to affirm that the United States remains 
fully committed to the North Atlantic Treaty Orga-
nization and will honor its obligations enshrined in 
Article 5; and 
(4) to condemn any threat to the sovereignty, 
territorial integrity, freedom, or democracy of any 
country that is a member of the North Atlantic 
Treaty Organization.
