A concurrent resolution expressing the sense of Congress that the United Nations should take immediate procedural actions necessary to amend Article 23 of the Charter of the United Nations to remove the Russian Federation as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.
Summary
This concurrent resolution expresses the sense of Congress that the United Nations should take the necessary procedural steps to remove the Russian Federation as a permanent member of the UN Security Council. The measure cites Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and its support of proxy militias as violations of its obligations to maintain international peace and security.
If passed, the resolution would urge the President to direct U.S. diplomats to use their influence to build international support for amending the UN Charter to strip Russia of its permanent seat and veto power. While the resolution does not change U.S. law or directly alter UN membership, it serves as a formal statement of U.S. foreign policy goals aimed at holding Russia accountable through international institutions.
