The resolution from the Ohio Senate recognizes the Kingdom of Bhutan's responsibility for the oppression and forced eviction of over 120,000 Nepali-speaking Bhutanese citizens and other minorities during the late 1980s and 1990s. It highlights the unjust detention, violence, and human rights abuses faced by these communities, including the continued imprisonment of political prisoners and the ongoing struggles of Bhutanese refugees in Nepal. The resolution calls for the U.S. Congress to acknowledge these human rights violations and urges the Royal Government of Bhutan to take specific actions, such as releasing political prisoners, restoring citizenship to those affected, and facilitating the repatriation of displaced citizens.

Additionally, the resolution emphasizes the importance of engaging in a comprehensive peacebuilding process, including the establishment of an independent truth commission to investigate past abuses. It also recognizes the contributions of over 55,000 Bhutanese Americans in Ohio and urges the U.S. government to work with Bhutan, Nepal, India, and other stakeholders to address the ongoing refugee crisis, promote human rights, and support democracy in Bhutan. The resolution concludes with a directive for the Clerk of the Senate to transmit copies to relevant U.S. officials and members of the Ohio Congressional delegation.
