The human rights situation in Eswatini demands immediate attention. Activists, including the late Thulani Maseko, face persecution, arbitrary arrests, and even torture. It is crucial that we stand firm in our commitment to protect human rights advocates and uphold the rule of law. This resolution, S.Res. 174, calls for a transparent investigation into Maseko's assassination, an end to the intimidation of activists, and the initiation of democratic reforms. It also encourages international involvement and suggests targeted sanctions against violators. Passing this resolution would send a clear message of our unwavering support for human rights and democracy. Therefore, it is imperative to vote in favor of S.Res. 174.
