That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that—
Boko Haram and other terrorist organizations be declared an existential threat to the human rights, well-being, and security of the Nigerian people and their regional neighbors with its relentless drive to commit genocide in Nigeria;
there is an urgency for a framework to address the unprecedented migrant and refugee crisis across the Mediterranean triggered by violent extremism, conflict, and natural disasters;
the global strategy for ending the suffering, preventing displacement, and creating solutions for displaced persons in Africa include a multi-pronged strategy which would among others include a Victims of Terror Protection Fund, sustained humanitarian response, government and civil society capacity building, and the creation of resilient political and security infrastructures and landscapes;
military technical assistance be provided to Nigeria and its neighbors, owing to the fact that the threat of Boko Haram has been so serious that the United Nations Security Council and neighboring African countries have called for accelerated military collaboration to combat this extremist group and any of its affiliates;
the victims of Boko Haram should be provided the dire humanitarian assistance which the Victims of Terror Support Fund can provide pursuant to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the United Nations Conventions on the Rights of the Child, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and its two Optional Protocols, and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, among others; and
the Victims of Terror Support Fund should be modeled after the cases of Khazistan and Equatorial Guinea where prior kleptocracy initiatives have been created to benefit communities and victims in need of support.
