This bill would require the U.S. government to impose sanctions — such as freezing assets, banning entry to the U.S., and blocking access to loans and contracts — on foreign individuals and organizations responsible for serious human rights abuses in Sudan's conflict. It would also ban U.S. sales of major military equipment to countries supporting either warring side, and require the President to build and share with Congress a strategy for protecting civilians, delivering aid, and pursuing peace. U.S. diplomats would be directed to push at the United Nations for humanitarian access and a ceasefire, and to actively include Sudanese women and youth in peace talks.
This bill most directly affects foreign individuals and governments connected to the Sudan conflict, as well as U.S. financial institutions and exporters. Federal agencies involved in foreign policy and national security would also take on new responsibilities under this law.
If passed, foreign actors found responsible for abuses in Sudan could face significant financial and travel restrictions. Countries that continue supplying weapons to either side of the conflict could lose access to U.S. military equipment sales.
