A resolution condemning the coup that took place on February 1, 2021, in Burma and the Burmese military's detention of civilian leaders, calling for an immediate and unconditional release of all those detained, promoting accountability and justice for those killed by the Burmese military, and calling for those elected to serve in parliament to resume their duties without impediment, and for other purposes.

Senate Resolution 20 is a formal statement expressing the U.S. Senate’s official position against the 2021 military coup in Burma (Myanmar). The resolution calls for the immediate release of all political prisoners, the restoration of the democratically elected civilian government, and the removal of restrictions on travel and communications within the country. While this resolution does not create new laws or mandate federal spending, it serves as a diplomatic tool to signal American support for human rights and to pressure the Burmese military to end its crackdown on protesters and ethnic groups.
