RESOLUTION 
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that 
legal action in Afghanistan against citizens who have 
already converted or plan to convert to other religions 
is deplorable and unjust. 
Whereas the United States, at great cost in blood and treas-
ure, helped the people of Afghanistan liberate themselves 
from the tyranny of the Taliban and adopt free institu-
tions and practices, including respect for rule of law and 
internationally recognized human rights; 
Whereas the preamble of the Constitution of the Islamic Re-
public of Afghanistan affirms that the people of Afghani-

rule of law, social justice, protection of human rights, 
and dignity, and ensuring the fundamental rights and 
freedoms of the people’’; 
Whereas Article 7 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic 
of Afghanistan provides that ‘‘the state shall observe the 
United Nations Charter, inter-state agreements, as well 
as international treaties to which Afghanistan has joined, 
and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,’’ which 
includes the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and 
religion and the freedom to change one’s religion or be-
lief; 
Whereas Article 18 of the International Covenant on Civil 
and Political Rights, to which Afghanistan has acceded, 
provides that ‘‘[e]veryone shall have the right to freedom 
of thought, conscience and religion . . . [t]his right shall 
include freedom to have or to adopt a religion or belief 
of his choice, and freedom, either individually or in com-
munity with others and in public or private, to manifest 
his religion or belief in worship, observance, practice and 
teaching’’; and 
Whereas the President of the United States has expressed his 
concern about the Abdul Rahman apostasy case, stating 
that ‘‘[i]t is deeply troubling that a country we helped 
liberate would hold a person to account, because they 
chose a particular religion over another’’: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) condemns, in the strongest possible terms, 
the enforcement of laws against apostasy; 
(2) requests the President to continue to work 
with the Government of Afghanistan to establish

Supporting the observance of a Month of Global Health. 
Whereas child survival is a key element of global health and

Whereas 5 simple interventions, if delivered to children before 
the age of 5, may significantly increase their chances of 
survival;
