Congress makes the following findings:
(1) On July 22, 2004, the House of Representatives and the Senate declared
that the atrocities occurring in the Darfur region of Sudan are genocide.
(2) On September 9, 2004, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell stated before
the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, `genocide has been committed
in Darfur and... the Government of Sudan and the [Janjaweed] bear responsibility--and
genocide may still be occurring'.
(3) On September 21, 2004, in an address before the United Nations General
Assembly, President George W. Bush affirmed the Secretary of State's finding
and stated, `[a]t this hour, the world is witnessing terrible suffering
and horrible crimes in the Darfur region of Sudan, crimes my government
has concluded are genocide'.
(4) On July 30, 2004, the United Nations Security Council passed Security
Council Resolution 1556, calling upon the Government of Sudan to disarm
the Janjaweed militias and to apprehend and bring to justice Janjaweed
leaders and their associates who have incited and carried out violations
of human rights and international humanitarian law, and establishing a
ban on the sale or supply of arms and related materiel of all types, including

(6) The Report of the International Commission of Inquiry on Darfur established
that the `Government of the Sudan and the Janjaweed are responsible for
serious violations of international human rights and humanitarian law
amounting to crimes under international law,' that `these acts were conducted
on a widespread and systematic basis, and therefore may amount to crimes
against humanity,' and that Sudanese officials and other individuals may
have acted with `genocidal intent'.
(7) The Report of the International Commission of Inquiry on Darfur further
notes that, pursuant to its mandate and in the course of its work, the
Commission had collected information relating to individual perpetrators
of acts constituting `violations of international human rights law and

perpetrators had been delivered to the United Nations Secretary-General.

those individuals who impede the peace process, constitute a threat to
stability in Darfur and the region, commit violations of international
humanitarian or human rights law or other atrocities, are responsible

establishing a Committee of the Security Council and a Panel of Experts
to assist in monitoring compliance with Security Council Resolutions 1556
and 1591.
(10) On March 31, 2005, the United Nations Security Council passed Security
Council Resolution 1593, referring the situation in Darfur since July
1, 2002, to the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court and calling
on the Government of Sudan and all parties to the conflict to cooperate
fully with the Court.
(11) In remarks before the G-8 Summit on June 30, 2005, President Bush
reconfirmed that `the violence in Darfur is clearly genocide' and `the
human cost is beyond calculation'.
(12) On July 30, 2005, Dr. John Garang de Mabior, the newly appointed
Vice President of Sudan and the leader of the Sudan People's Liberation
Movement/Army (SPLM/A) for the past 21 years, was killed in a tragic helicopter
crash in southern Sudan, sparking riots in Khartoum and challenging the
commitment of all the people of Sudan to the Comprehensive Peace Agreement
for Sudan.
SEC. 4. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the genocide unfolding in the Darfur region of Sudan is characterized
by atrocities directed against civilians, including mass murder, rape,
and sexual violence committed by the Janjaweed and associated militias
with the complicity and support of the National Congress Party-led faction
of the Government of Sudan;
(2) all parties to the conflict in the Darfur region have continued to
violate the N'djamena Ceasefire Agreement of April 8, 2004, and the Abuja
Protocols of November 9, 2004, and violence against civilians, humanitarian
aid workers, and personnel of the African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS)
is increasing;
(3) the African Union should rapidly expand the size and amend the mandate
of the African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS) to authorize such action
as may be necessary to protect civilians and humanitarian operations,
and deter violence in the Darfur region without delay;
(4) the international community, including the United Nations, the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the European Union, and the United
States, should immediately act to mobilize sufficient political, military,
and financial resources to support the expansion of the African Union
Mission in Sudan so that it achieves the size, strength, and capacity
necessary for protecting civilians and humanitarian operations, and ending
the continued violence in the Darfur region;
(5) if an expanded and reinforced African Union Mission in Sudan fails
to stop genocide in the Darfur region, the international community should
take additional, dispositive measures to prevent and suppress acts of
genocide in the Darfur region;
(6) acting under Article 5 of the Charter of the United Nations, the United
Nations Security Council should call for suspension of the Government
of Sudan's rights and privileges of membership by the General Assembly
until such time as the Government of Sudan has honored pledges to cease
attacks upon civilians, demobilize the Janjaweed and associated militias,
grant free and unfettered access for deliveries of humanitarian assistance
in the Darfur region, and allow for safe, unimpeded, and voluntary return
of refugees and internally displaced persons;
(7) the President should use all necessary and appropriate diplomatic
means to ensure the full discharge of the responsibilities of the Committee
of the United Nations Security Council and the Panel of Experts established
pursuant to section 3(a) of Security Council Resolution 1591 (March 29,
2005);
(8) the United States should not provide assistance to the Government
of Sudan, other than assistance necessary for the implementation of the
Comprehensive Peace Agreement for Sudan, the support of the regional Government
of Southern Sudan and marginalized areas in northern Sudan (including
the Nuba Mountains, Southern Blue Nile, Abyei, Eastern Sudan (Beja), Darfur,
and Nubia), as well as marginalized peoples in and around Khartoum, or
for humanitarian purposes in Sudan, until such time as the Government
of Sudan has honored pledges to cease attacks upon civilians, demobilize
the Janjaweed and associated militias, grant free and unfettered access
for deliveries of humanitarian assistance in the Darfur region, and allow
for safe, unimpeded, and voluntary return of refugees and internally displaced
persons;
(9) the President should seek to assist members of the Sudanese diaspora
in the United States by establishing a student loan forgiveness program
for those individuals who commit to return to southern Sudan for a period
of not less than 5 years for the purpose of contributing professional
skills needed for the reconstruction of southern Sudan;
(10) the President should appoint a Presidential Envoy for Sudan to provide
stewardship of efforts to implement the Comprehensive Peace Agreement
for Sudan, seek ways to bring stability and peace to the Darfur region,
address instability elsewhere in Sudan and northern Uganda, and pursue
a truly comprehensive peace throughout the region;
(11) in order to achieve the goals specified in paragraph (10) and to
further promote human rights and civil liberties, build democracy, and
strengthen civil society, the Presidential Envoy for Sudan should be empowered
to promote and encourage the exchange of individuals pursuant to educational
and cultural programs, including programs funded by the United States
Government;
(12) the international community should strongly condemn attacks against
humanitarian workers and demand that all armed groups in the Darfur region,
including the forces of the Government of Sudan, the Janjaweed, associated
militias, the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army (SLM/A), the Justice and
Equality Movement (JEM), and all other armed groups to refrain from such
attacks;
(13) the United States should fully support the Comprehensive Peace Agreement
for Sudan and urge rapid implementation of its terms; and
(14) the new leadership of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM)
should--
(A) seek to transform the SPLM into an inclusive, transparent, and democratic
political body;
(B) reaffirm the commitment of the SPLM to bringing peace not only to
southern Sudan, but also to the Darfur region, eastern Sudan, and northern
Uganda; and
(C) remain united in the face of potential efforts to undermine the
SPLM.
