7legislative day1 ,march #ca71 #bjbe,mr4
 ,rounds 7for himself and ,mr4 ,coons7  
submitted the following resolution2     
which was referred to the ,committee on 
,foreign ,relations  ,,resolution       
,expressing the sense of the ,senate    
that the ,united ,states should         
recognize the #aiid genocide in ,rwanda 
as the genocide against the ,tutsi in   
,rwanda4  ,whereas1 in #bjah1 the       
,united ,nations ,general ,assembly     
amended the title of the annual         
observance of the genocide in ,rwanda on
 ,april #g to be the ,international ,day
 of ,reflection on the #aiid ,genocide  
against the ,tutsi in ,rwanda2 ,whereas 
,united ,states officials have noted    
publicly that the genocide in ,rwanda   
was intended to destroy ,tutsi2         
,whereas1 on ,april #g1 #bjbc1          
,secretary of ,state ,blinken stated1   
,the ,u4,s4 stands with ,rwanda ''' in  

remembering the ,tutsi victims of       
genocide4 ,we also mourn the others who 
were murdered for their opposition to a 
genocidal regime42 ,whereas the ,united 
,states ,integrated ,country ,strategy  
for ,rwanda 7approved ,march #ad1 #bjbb7
 refers to the #aiid genocide against   
the ,tutsi ethnic group2 ,whereas       
,rwandan officials1 in appropriately    
opposing genocide denial or revisionism1
 aptly note that any nomenclature that  
does not specifically use the phrase    
genocide against the ,tutsi is ambiguous
 and conducive to genocide denial or    
revisionism2 ,whereas the ,united       
,states ,holocaust ,memorial ,museum    
notes in its public educational         
materials on the genocide in ,rwanda    
that the victims were predominantly     
,tutsi and that the goal of ,hutu       
extremist leaders was for ,rwandan      
,tutsis to be exterminated2 ,whereas the
 ,united ,states-based nongovernmental  
organization ,human ,rights ,watch1     
which played a central role in          

documenting the genocide in ,rwanda and 
in supporting international efforts to  
bring the perpetrators to justice1 found
 that the ,tutsi were being targeted for
 elimination2 ,whereas ,european        
diplomats refer to the genocide against 
the ,tutsi in public statements2        
,whereas1 starting in #bjbb1 the        
,government of the ,united ,kingdom has 
used the terminology genocide against   
the ,tutsi2 and ,whereas the ,united    
,states is the only major country in the
 world to publicly reject the           
terminology genocide against the ,tutsi3
 ,now1 therefore1 be it ,that it is the 
sense of the ,senate that-- 7#a7 the    
,united ,states should recognize the    
#aiid genocide in ,rwanda as the        
genocide against the ,tutsi in ,rwanda2 
7#b7 the ,secretary of ,state should    
publicly affirm that terminology2 and   
7#c7 other types of atrocities occurred 
alongside the genocide against the      
,tutsi1 and the history of the genocide 
should clearly affirm the other         

experiences of mass violence against    
,rwandans during the same period1       
including the killings and other        
violence experienced by ,hutus and the  
,indigenous ,twa community1 perpetrated 
by ,hutu extremist militias4
