Condemning the ongoing attacks by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) which have affected innocent civilians in Uganda, South Sudan, Central African Republic, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and for other purposes.

House Resolution 542 is a formal statement by the U.S. House of Representatives condemning the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) and its leader, Joseph Kony, for ongoing violence against civilians across Central Africa. The resolution calls for the U.S. President to appoint a senior diplomat to coordinate international efforts to end the conflict and ensure the protection of innocent people and abducted children. While the resolution does not create new laws or provide funding, it signals a commitment from the U.S. government to prioritize regional stability and humanitarian safety in the affected nations.
