SEC. 3. FINDINGS.

    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 the provision of related technical training or 
        assistance, to all nongovernmental entities and individuals, 
        including the Janjaweed.
            (5) On September 18, 2004, the United Nations Security 
        Council passed Security Council Resolution 1564, determining 
        that the Government of Sudan had failed to meet its obligations 
        under Security Council Resolution 1556, calling for a military 
        flight ban in and over the Darfur region, demanding the names 
        of Janjaweed militiamen disarmed and arrested for verification, 
        establishing an International Commission of Inquiry on Darfur 
        to investigate violations of international humanitarian and 
        human rights laws, and threatening sanctions should the 
        Government of Sudan fail to fully comply with Security Council 
        Resolutions 1556 and 1564, including such actions as to affect 
        Sudan's petroleum sector or individual members of the 
        Government of Sudan.
            (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 
        international humanitarian law, including crimes against 
        humanity and war crimes'' and that a sealed file containing the 
        names of those individual perpetrators had been delivered to 
        the United Nations Secretary-General.
            (8) On March 24, 2005, the United Nations Security Council 
        passed Security Council Resolution 1590, establishing the 
        United Nations Mission in Sudan (UNMIS), consisting of up to 
        10,000 military personnel and 715 civilian police and tasked 
        with supporting implementation of the Comprehensive Peace 
        Agreement for Sudan and ``closely and continuously liais[ing] 
        and coordinat[ing] at all levels with the African Union Mission 
        in Sudan (AMIS) with a view towards expeditiously reinforcing 
        the effort to foster peace in Darfur''.
            (9) On March 29, 2005, the United Nations Security Council 
        passed Security Council Resolution 1591, extending the military 
        embargo established by Security Council Resolution 1556 to all 
        the parties to the N'djamena Ceasefire Agreement and any other 
        belligerents in the states of North Darfur, South Darfur, and 
        West Darfur, calling for an asset freeze and travel ban against 
        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 for offensive military overflights, 
        or violate the military embargo, and 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.

SEC. 7. MULTILATERAL EFFORTS.

    The President shall direct the United States Permanent 
Representative to the United Nations to use the voice and vote of the 
United States to urge the adoption of a resolution by the United 
Nations Security Council which--
            (1) supports the expansion of the African Union Mission in 
        Sudan (AMIS) so that it achieves the mandate, size, strength, 
        and capacity needed to protect civilians and humanitarian 
        operations, and dissuade and deter fighting and violence in the 
        Darfur region of Sudan, and urges member states of the United 
        Nations to accelerate political, material, financial, and other 
        assistance to the African Union toward this end;

        Agreement of April 8, 2004 and subsequent agreements, urges all 
        parties to engage in peace talks without preconditions and seek 
        to resolve the conflict, and strongly condemns all attacks 
        against humanitarian workers and African Union personnel in the 
        Darfur region;
            (3) imposes sanctions against the Government of Sudan, 
        including sanctions against individual members of the 
        Government of Sudan, and entities controlled or owned by 
        officials of the Government of Sudan or the National Congress 
        Party in Sudan until such time as the Government of Sudan has 
        honored its commitments to cease attacks on civilians,
