Supporting the people of Belarus and their democratic aspirations and condemning the election rigging and subsequent violent crackdowns on peaceful protesters by the illegitimate Lukashenka regime.

House Resolution 124 is a formal statement by the U.S. House of Representatives that officially refuses to recognize Alyaksandr Lukashenka as the legitimate president of Belarus following the disputed 2020 elections. The resolution condemns the use of violence and human rights violations against peaceful protesters and calls for the immediate release of all political prisoners held by the Belarusian government. While this resolution does not create new laws, it establishes an official U.S. policy of supporting the democratic aspirations of the Belarusian people and encourages the administration to coordinate with international allies to hold the regime accountable.
