Monitor countries over arms-related violations

Murray’s bill would let the Executive Branch, Congress, or a new Human Rights and Law of War Oversight Board designate a country as a “country of concern” for violating internationally recognized human rights or international humanitarian law. A designation would last three years and require the country to enter an enhanced monitoring program.

Context: The proposal applies to partner countries that receive U.S. weapons.

In their own words
