Urging the Government of El Salvador to respect the country's democratic institutions.

House Resolution 408 is a formal statement expressing the sense of the U.S. House of Representatives regarding the political situation in El Salvador. The resolution calls on the Salvadoran government to uphold democratic principles, maintain the independence of its judicial and legislative branches, and protect the human rights of its citizens. While this resolution does not change U.S. law or mandate specific funding, it signals a shift in foreign policy priorities by emphasizing that future cooperation and aid are linked to El Salvador’s commitment to transparency and the rule of law.
