1 (7) On April 27, 2007, the International Crimi2 nal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for— 

3 (A) former Sudanese Minister of the Inte4 rior Ahmad Muhammad Harun, who currently 

5 serves as Governor of the Sudanese state of 

6 South Kordofan, on 20 counts of crimes against 

7 humanity and 22 counts of war crimes in 

8 Darfur; and 

9 (B) Janjaweed Commander Ali Muham10 mad Ali Abd-Al-Rahman (‘‘Ali Kushayb’’) on 

11 22 counts of crimes against humanity and 28 

12 counts of war crimes. 

13 (8) On December 31, 2007, the ‘‘Sudan Ac14 countability and Divestment Act of 2007’’ was en15 acted into law as Public Law 110–174. 

16 (9) In May 2008, the Government of Sudan in17 vaded Abyei and has since forcibly removed the 

18 Ngok Dinka population, which subsequently led to 

19 the conclusion of the Abyei Roadmap agreement that 

20 called for an arbitration to resolve the dispute over 

21 the area’s boundaries. 

22 (10) On March 4, 2009, the ICC issued an ar23 rest warrant for Omar al-Bashir, the sitting Presi24 dent of Sudan, on two counts of war crimes and five 

25 counts of crimes against humanity related to Darfur.

1 (11) On July 10, 2010, the ICC issued a sec2 ond arrest warrant for Omar al-Bashir, the sitting 

3 President of Sudan, on three counts of genocide re4 lated to Darfur. 

5 (12) On May 21, 2011, the Government of 

6 Sudan invaded the disputed Abyei region which re7 sulted in the displacement of more than 113,000 ci8 vilians, almost all of whom were Ngok Dinka, and 

9 has not withdrawn its forces despite entering into an 

10 agreement to do so. 

11 (13) A United Nations report, dated May 29, 

12 2011, stated that the invasion of the Abyei region by 

13 the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) could lead to 

14 ‘‘ethnic cleansing’’. 

15 (14) On June 5, 2011, fighting erupted in 

16 South Kordofan, which included the aerial bombard17 ment of civilian areas by the Sudanese Air Force, re18 sulting in the displacement of more than 200,000 ci19 vilians. On September 1, 2011, similar fighting 

20 broke out in Blue Nile. 

21 (15) In July 2011, the Government of Sudan 

22 signed the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur with 

23 one rebel group, but the agreement did not include 

24 other significant groups.

1 (16) Aerial bombardments in civilian areas of 

2 South Kordofan and Blue Nile have severely im3 peded the ability of the population to engage in nor4 mal agricultural activities, leading to the potential 

5 for a massive famine affecting hundreds of thou6 sands of people, and has caused widespread displace7 ment of civilians. Moreover, the Government of 

8 Sudan has continually blocked humanitarian relief to 

9 vulnerable populations devastated by its aerial bom10 bardments. 

11 (17) On August 15, 2011, the United Nations 

12 Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights 

13 released a preliminary report stating that alleged 

14 violations of international law by Sudanese forces in 

15 the South Kordofan region ‘‘may constitute war 

16 crimes and crimes against humanity’’. Reported vio17 lations included extrajudicial killings, arbitrary ar18 rests and illegal detention, forced disappearances, 

19 aerial bombardments and attacks against civilians, 

20 looting and destruction of civilian homes and vil21 lages, massive displacement, attacks on churches, in22 terference with medical and humanitarian assist23 ance, and allegations of targeted attacks against eth24 nic and racial groups and the existence of mass 

25 graves. Subsequent reports by the United Nations

1 and other independent monitors document the con2 tinuation of theses violations throughout 2012 and 

3 the beginning of 2013. 

4 (18) On March 1, 2012, the ICC issued an ar5 rest warrant against the current Sudanese Defense 

6 Minister Abdel Raheem Muhammad Hussein for 

7 crimes against humanity and war crimes committed 

8 in Darfur from August 2003 to March 2004. 

9 (19) Recent offensive operations in South 

10 Kordofan and Blue Nile by Sudanese Armed Forces 

11 have led to significant and increasing flows of refu12 gees to Ethiopia and South Sudan, and on Novem13 ber 10, 2011, reports by the United Nations indi14 cated that aerial bombardment by the Sudanese 

15 Armed Forces was used against a refugee camp in 

16 South Sudan. On January 24, 2012, UNHCR again 

17 condemned an air raid carried out at a refugee tran18 sit site located within South Sudan. 

19 (20) Reports of cross border ground attacks by 

20 Sudan into South Sudan, aerial bombardment inside 

21 South Sudan and the increasing presence of Suda22 nese military forces close to the border between 

23 Sudan and South Sudan are provocative acts that 

24 raise tensions between the two countries, increasing

1 the risk of a military conflict and the aggravation of 

2 the humanitarian crisis. 

3 (21) In January 2013, the United Nations Of4 fice for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs 

5 (OCHA) stated that some 900,000 Sudanese people 

6 are in need of humanitarian aid in South Kordofan 

7 and Blue Nile provinces and in neighboring coun8 tries where they have sought refuge, describing their 

9 situation as bleak and urgent. OCHA further re10 ported that there is a deficit of political will by both 

11 sides of the conflict to do what is necessary to pro12 vide access to international humanitarian agencies to 

13 help the people where they so urgently and des14 perately need aid. 

15 (22) In February 2013, the United Nations 

16 documented that over 1.5 million people have been 

17 displaced or severely affected as a result of violence 

18 in Darfur, Abyei, South Kordofan, and Blue Nile 

19 provinces, including some 90,000–100,000 Darfuris 

20 newly displaced in 2012. In addition, over 40,000 

21 people of South Sudanese origin remain stranded in

2 are using military equipment to commit or assist in 

3 committing serious human rights violations. 

4 (24) In May 2012, the United Nations Security 

5 Council passed Resolution 2046, calling on the Gov6 ernments of Sudan and South Sudan to address sev7 eral remaining unresolved issues, including humani8 tarian access to South Kordofan and Blue Nile, or 

9 face consequences under Chapter VII of the United 

10 Nations Charter, including possible sanctions. 

11 (25) In July 2012, the Government of Sudan 

12 signed a Tripartite Agreement with the African 

13 Union, the League of Arab States, and the United 

14 Nations to allow international humanitarian access 

15 to South Kordofan and Blue Nile, but as of the be16 ginning of March 2013, such access continues to be 

17 blocked by the Government of Sudan. 

18 (26) In September 2012, the Governments of 

19 Sudan and South Sudan signed a series of security 

20 and economic framework agreements. In March 

21 2013, the two sides agreed to an implementation 

22 matrix and modalities for the demilitarized buffer

16 (2) ensure that work on a single, comprehensive 

17 solution to Sudan’s multiple conflicts runs parallel to 

18 negotiations between the Governments of Sudan and 

19 South Sudan but such comprehensive solution is not 

20 conditioned on the status of Sudan-South Sudan ne21 gotiations, and is coordinated effectively so as to
