American Values and Security in International Athletics Act
This bill requires the Department of State to distribute specified briefing materials to individuals representing the United States at international athletic competitions. These materials must contain information on human rights concerns and personal privacy and security risks posed by certain host countries (e.g., specified communist countries and countries that do not meet certain minimum standards with respect to human trafficking and are not making significant efforts to do so).
To direct the Department of State to ensure persons representing the 
    United States in international athletic competitions in certain 
     countries are appropriately informed, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``American Values and Security in 
International Athletics Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) In 2017, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) 
        revised its Host City Contract to require host countries to 
        ``protect and respect human rights and ensure any violation of 
        human rights is remedied in a manner consistent with 
        international agreements, laws, and regulations applicable in 
        the Host Country and in a manner consistent with all 
        internationally recognised human rights standards and 
        principles, including the United Nations Guiding Principles on 
        Business and Human Rights, applicable in the Host Country''.
            (2) The Olympic Charter states the goal of Olympism is ``to 
        place sport at the service of the harmonious development of 
        humankind, with a view to promoting a peaceful society 
        concerned with the preservation of human dignity''.
            (3) The IOC set up an advisory committee on human rights in 
        December 2018, and IOC President Thomas Bach said, ``Promoting 
        humanistic values in sport has been a core feature of the IOC 
        since its beginning. Our mission, to put sport at the service 
        of humanity, goes hand-in-hand with human rights, which is part 
        of our DNA.''.
            (4) In the report, ``The Cybersecurity of Olympic Sports: 
        New Opportunities, New Risks'', the UC Berkley Center for Long-
        Term Cybersecurity listed the ``hacking and release of 
        sensitive athletic data'' as one of the four significant 
        categories of cyberattacks on major sporting events.
            (5) According to the State Department's 2019 Country 
        Reports on Human Rights Practices, the People's Republic of 
        China's Ministry of Public Security employs ``tens of millions 
        of surveillance cameras'' to monitor the general public, as 
        well as ``political dissidents, religious leaders and 
        adherents, Tibetans, and Uyghurs''.
            (6) The People's Republic of China (PRC) Government's 
        extensive use of artificial intelligence surveillance 
        technology, including facial and voice pattern recognition 
        technology, poses grave humanitarian, privacy, and security 
        concerns. PRC authorities have used surveillance technology to 
        monitor, control, and repress an estimated 1.8 million Uyghurs 
        and other Muslim minorities in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous 
        Region. PRC State media has confirmed that ``voice, image, 
        position and behavior recognition technologies'' will be used 
        in the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
