A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

H. Res. 866 condemns the persecution and targeted killing of Christians in Nigeria by groups such as Boko Haram, the Islamic State West Africa Province, and Fulani militants. The resolution criticizes the Nigerian Government for failing to protect these communities and for denying that religious persecution exists. It expresses support for President Donald J. Trump's decision to designate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern. The House calls for the U.S. government to use diplomatic, economic, and security tools to pressure Nigeria to end violence and repeal blasphemy laws. Additionally, it encourages delivering humanitarian aid to victims via trusted organizations.
