SEC. 651. INVESTIGATION OF VIOLATIONS OF INTER-
NATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—The President, with the assistance 
of the Secretary of State, the Under Secretary of State for 
Democracy and Global Affairs, and the Ambassador-at-
Large for War Crimes Issues, shall collect information re-
garding incidents that may constitute crimes against hu-
manity, genocide, slavery, or other violations of inter-

officials of foreign countries categorized as nondemocratic 
or as democratic transition countries in the most recent An-
nual Report on Democracy under section 612(a).
127
(b) ACCOUNTABILITY.—The President shall consider 
what actions can be taken to ensure that such leaders or 
other government officials of foreign countries who are iden-

crimes against humanity, genocide, slavery, or other viola-
tions of international humanitarian law are brought to ac-
count for such crimes in an appropriately constituted tri-
bunal. 
SEC. 652. PRESIDENTIAL COMMUNICATIONS. 
(a) FINDING.—Congress finds that direct communica-
tions from the President to citizens of countries that are 
categorized as nondemocratic in the most recent Annual Re-
port on Democracy would be extremely beneficial to dem-
onstrate that the United States supports such citizens and 
the efforts and actions of such citizens to promote and 
achieve transition to democracy in such countries. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress 
that—
(1) from time to time as the President shall de-
termine appropriate, the President should broadcast a 
message to the citizens of countries categorized as 
nondemocratic in the most recent Annual Report on 
Democracy under section 612(a) expressing the sup-
port of the United States for such citizens, discussing 
democratic principles, practices, and values, and po-
128
litical, social, and economic freedoms, and con-
demning violations of internationally recognized 
human rights (as such term is described in section 
116(a) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 
U.S.C. 2151n(a))), violations of religious freedom, in-
cluding particularly severe violations of religious free-
dom (as such terms are defined in paragraphs (11) 
and (13) of section 3 of the International Religious 
Freedom Act of 1998 (22 U.S.C. 6402)), political re-
pression, and government-tolerated or condoned traf-
ficking in persons that occur in such country; and 
(2) the President should encourage leaders of 
other democratic countries to make similar broad-
casts.
