RESOLUTION
Recognizing the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS.
Whereas it has been 5 years since the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS formed and
affirmed our shared goal to ensure the enduring defeat of ISIS;
Whereas 76 member nations of the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS and 5
international institutions have contributed to efforts to defeat the
Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS);
Whereas the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS has provided military support to
local partners on the front lines of the fight in Iraq and Syria; has
led efforts to stop the flow of foreign fighters to the battlefield,
combatted the financing of terrorist activities, responded to the
ongoing humanitarian crises in the region, and countered the ISIS
narrative online and in their nations; and
Whereas, as a result of our success in forming the Global Coalition to Defeat
ISIS, the military campaign of the Coalition has been more effective,
and the burden of confronting the scourge of ISIS has been shared by
partner nations that recognize the common nature of the threat: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
(1) recognizes the commitment of partner nations and
institutions that have participated in the Global Coalition to
Defeat ISIS;
(2) recognizes the many critical contributions that Global
Coalition partners have made in support of our shared mission
to defeat ISIS;
(3) reaffirms the enduring commitment of the United States
to the lasting defeat of ISIS;

remain critical to defeating emerging and future threats.
