            Recognizing the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS.

Whereas it has been 5 years since the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS formed and 
        affirmed our shared goal to ensure the enduring defeat of ISIS;
Whereas 76 member nations of the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS and 5 
        international institutions have contributed to efforts to defeat the 
        Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS);
Whereas the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS has provided military support to 
        local partners on the front lines of the fight in Iraq and Syria; has 
        led efforts to stop the flow of foreign fighters to the battlefield, 
        combatted the financing of terrorist activities, responded to the 
        ongoing humanitarian crises in the region, and countered the ISIS 
        narrative online and in their nations; and
Whereas, as a result of our success in forming the Global Coalition to Defeat 
        ISIS, the military campaign of the Coalition has been more effective, 
        and the burden of confronting the scourge of ISIS has been shared by 
        partner nations that recognize the common nature of the threat: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes the commitment of partner nations and 
        institutions that have participated in the Global Coalition to 
        Defeat ISIS;
            (2) recognizes the many critical contributions that Global 
        Coalition partners have made in support of our shared mission 
        to defeat ISIS;
            (3) reaffirms the enduring commitment of the United States 
        to the lasting defeat of ISIS;
            (4) recognizes that robust alliances and partnerships 
        require many years to develop and, if neglected, may not be 
        easily rebuilt in moments of crisis; and
            (5) affirms that robust alliances and partnerships will 
        remain critical to defeating emerging and future threats.
