Condemning the continued violence in Sudan and calling on the international community to unequivocally support diplomatic efforts to achieve a cessation of hostilities, ensure the protection of civilians and secure unfettered access for humanitarian aid.
This resolution condemns the ongoing violence in Sudan, including attacks on civilians and the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war, and calls for immediate diplomatic action to end hostilities. It directly urges the U.S. President to appoint a special envoy for Sudan and directs the Secretary of State to develop a sanctions strategy targeting military leaders, monitor arms sales, and support humanitarian aid access. Key provisions include requiring regular review of atrocities determinations, deepening coordination with the Treasury for sanctions, and urging regional partners to impose targeted sanctions on violators. The resolution focuses on U.S. policy actions to support civilians and accountability, without proposing new laws or funding.
