US HR1130

Condemns atrocities committed by Pakistan's Armed Forces against the people of Bangladesh beginning March 25, 1971, during "Operation Searchlight"

Recognizes that Pakistani forces and Islamist allies killed tens to hundreds of thousands of ethnic Bengalis, raped over 200,000 women, and specifically targeted Hindu religious minorities for extermination

Acknowledges contemporaneous U.S. documentation of the genocide, including the "Blood Telegram" from Consul General Archer Blood and Senator Edward Kennedy's 1971 subcommittee report describing systematic slaughter of Hindus

Affirms that entire ethnic or religious communities should not be held responsible for crimes committed by individual members

Calls on the President to officially recognize the 1971 atrocities against ethnic Bengali Hindus by Pakistan's Armed Forces and Jamaat-e-Islami allies as crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide
