Police brutality is a global problem affecting every continent, and this resolution condemns it wherever it occurs — both in the U.S. and abroad. It highlights that excessive force, extrajudicial killings, and impunity disproportionately harm racial, ethnic, and religious minorities, women, migrants, people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ communities. The resolution calls on the U.S. government to take steps to eliminate police brutality domestically, prohibit arms and policing equipment sales to countries with patterns of human rights violations by security forces, end the use of militarized equipment in policing, and redirect funding toward peacebuilding, job training, counseling, and violence prevention programs.
