It is the policy of the United States that the Department of State, in coordination with the Department of Defense and the United States Agency for International Development, should address global fragility, as required by the Global Fragility Act of 2019 and, to the extent practicable, incorporate the prevention of atrocities and mitigation of fragility into security assistance and cooperation planning and implementation for covered foreign countries. The Secretary of State, in consultation with chiefs of mission and the Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development, shall ensure that the Department of State’s Atrocity Assessment Framework is factored into the Integrated Country Strategy and the Country Development Cooperation Strategy where appropriate for covered foreign countries.
Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter for 5 years, the Secretary of State shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report on its efforts to prevent atrocities in covered foreign countries. Consistent with section 504(b) of the Global Fragility Act of 2019 ( 22 U.S.C. 9803(b) ), the Secretary of State and other relevant agencies may consult with credible representatives of civil society with experience in atrocities prevention and national and local governance entities, as well as relevant international development organizations with experience implementing programs in fragile and violence-affected communities, multilateral organizations and donors, and relevant private, academic, and philanthropic entities, as appropriate, in identifying covered foreign countries as defined in this section.
In this section: The term appropriate congressional committees means— the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives; and the Committee on Foreign Relations and the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate. The term covered foreign country means a foreign country that is not listed as a priority country under the Global Fragility Initiative but remains among the top 30 most at risk countries for new onset of mass killing, according to the Department of State’s internal assessments, and in consultation with the appropriate congressional committees.
