Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the International Olympic Committee should rebid the 2022 Winter Olympic Games to be hosted by a country that recognizes and respects human rights.
Summary
House Resolution 160 expresses the official position of the U.S. House of Representatives that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) should move the 2022 Winter Olympic Games out of China unless the country demonstrates significant improvements in its human rights record. The resolution calls for a new bidding process to select a host country that recognizes and respects fundamental human rights and the integrity of international sport. While the resolution does not have the force of law to compel the IOC to act, it serves as a formal diplomatic statement of concern regarding the safety of athletes and the ethics of hosting a global event in a nation accused of human rights violations.
