Concurrent resolution declaring and recognizing the right to travel freely to any foreign country.

Summary

Makes it the sense of Congress that the right to travel to any foreign country is an inherent human right, and that this right is recognized in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights affirmed by the United States and declaratory of the norms of international law as recognized by numerous other nations and reaffirmed on several occasions by the General Assembly of the United Nations. Makes it the sense of the Congress that it is the right of every citizen of the United States to travel freely, both the legislative and executive branches of the United States Government have vigorously supported the right to international travel in the case of Soviet Jews seeking to emigrate from the Soviet Union, and this right to travel freely is self-executing and needs no legislation to take full force and effect, and cannot be diminished or impaired by any Act of Congress.
