17 SEC. 3. FINDINGS. 

18 Congress makes the following findings: 

19 (1) Since seizing power through a military coup 

20 in 1989, the Government of Sudan has repeatedly 

21 attacked and dislocated civilian populations in south22 ern Sudan in a coordinated policy of ethnic cleansing 

23 that cost the lives of over 2,000,000 people and dis24 placed more than 4,000,000 people. 
3

•HR 5061 IH 

1 (2) The Governments of the United States, the 

2 United Kingdom, and Norway have each committed 

3 significant resources to promote an internationally 

4 supported peace process between the Government of 

5 Sudan and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement 

6 (SPLM), under the auspices of the Inter-Govern7 mental Authority on Development. 

8 (3) Following the signing of the Machakos 

9 Agreement in July 2002, the Government of Sudan 

10 and the SPLM reached a number of important 

11 agreements on issues such as self-determination, se12 curity arrangements, and wealth and power sharing, 

13 culminating in the final framework agreement, the 

14 Nairobi Declaration on the Final Phase of Peace in 

15 the Sudan, signed on June 6, 2004. 

16 (4) Despite efforts to negotiate a settlement be17 tween the Government of Sudan and the SPLM, a 

18 conflict between forces of the Government of Sudan, 

19 including militia forces backed by the Government, 

20 and rebel forces (the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) 

21 and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM)) in 

22 the impoverished Darfur region of western Sudan, 

23 began in early 2003 and has resulted in attacks by 

24 ground and air forces of the Government of Sudan 
4

•HR 5061 IH 

1 against innocent civilians and undefended villages in 

2 the region. 

3 (5) The United Nations estimates that 

4 2,200,000 people are conflict-affected in the Darfur 

5 region and neighboring Chad, 1,200,000 people have 

6 been internally displaced, 200,000 people have fled 

7 into Chad, and 50,000 people have been killed. 

8 (6) The United States Agency for International 

9 Development projects that the violence and the ob10 struction of the delivery of food, shelter, and medical 

11 care to people of Darfur will result in the death of 

12 an estimated 320,000 people between April 1, 2004, 

13 and December 31, 2004. 

14 (7) Sudanese Government forces and govern15 ment supported militia forces have also engaged in 

16 the use of rape as a weapon of war, the abduction 

17 of children, the destruction of food and water 

18 sources, and the deliberate and systematic manipula19 tion and denial of humanitarian assistance for the 

20 people of the Darfur region. 

21 (8) The United Nations High Commissioner for 

22 Human Rights identified ‘‘massive human rights vio23 lations in Darfur perpetrated by the Government of 

24 Sudan and the Janjaweed, which may constitute war 

25 crimes and/or crimes against humanity’’. 
5

•HR 5061 IH 

1 (9) The United Nations Special Rapporteur on 

2 Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions 

3 stated in a recent report to the United Nations Sub4 Commission on Human Rights that ‘‘[i]t is beyond 

5 doubt that the [G]overnment of Sudan is responsible 

6 for extrajudicial and summary executions of large 

7 numbers of people over the last several months in 

8 the Darfur region’’, and that ‘‘[t]he current humani9 tarian disaster unfolding in Darfur, for which the 

10 government is largely responsible, has put millions of 

11 civilians at risk’’. 

12 (10) The Department of State, in a press brief13 ing on June 24, 2004, stated, as of the time of the 

14 briefing: ‘‘301 villages in Darfur have been de15 stroyed and 76 have been damaged. There have been 

16 crops burned, killed or stolen cattle, and destroyed 

17 irrigation systems.’’. 

18 (11) Attacks on civilians in the Darfur region 

19 continue despite an April 8, 2004, temporary cease20 fire agreement reached between the Government of 

21 Sudan and the JEM and SLA rebel groups in 

22 N’Djamena, Chad. 

23 (12) On July 22, 2004, the United States 

24 House of Representatives and Senate both declared 
6

•HR 5061 IH 

1 that the atrocities unfolding in Darfur, Sudan are 

2 genocide. 

3 (13) On September 9, 2004, Secretary of State 

4 Colin L. Powell stated before the Senate Committee 

5 on Foreign Relations: ‘‘When we reviewed the evi6 dence compiled by our team, along with other infor7 mation available to the State Department, we con8 cluded that genocide has been committed in Darfur 

9 and that the Government of Sudan and the jinjaweid 

10 bear responsibility—and genocide may still be occur11 ring.’’

12 (14) On July 30, 2004, the United Nations Se13 curity Council passed Resolution 1556, calling upon 

14 the Government of Sudan to disarm the Janjaweed 

15 militias, apprehend and bring to justice Janjaweed 

16 leaders and their associates who have incited and 

17 carried out violations of human rights and inter18 national humanitarian law, as well as other atroc19 ities in the Darfur region. 

20 (15) The cooperation and mediation of the 

21 SPLM is critical to bringing about a political settle22 ment between the Government of Sudan, the SLA, 

23 and the JEM. 

24 (16) Practical implementation of a comprehen25 sive peace agreement for Sudan, as envisioned in the 
7

•HR 5061 IH 

1 Sudan Peace Act (50 12 U.S.C. 1701 note), and in 

2 the Machakos Protocol of 2002, is hampered by the 

3 ongoing violence in the Darfur region and by the 

4 Government of Sudan’s complicity in the violence. 

5 (17) The final framework peace agreement be6 tween the Government of Sudan and the SPLM is 

7 at great risk of collapse. Since the signing of the 

8 Nairobi Declaration on the Final Phase of Peace in 

9 the Sudan, the Government of Sudan has frustrated 

10 the process of the Inter-Governmental Authority on 

11 Development by pursuing delay tactics and raising 

12 new issues in the negotiations. 

13 (18) Moreover, the Government of Sudan’s 

14 complicity in the atrocities in the Darfur region 

15 raises fundamental questions about the Government 

16 of Sudan’s commitment to peace and stability in 

17 Sudan. 

18 SEC. 4. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING GENOCIDE AND 

19 THE CONFLICT IN DARFUR, SUDAN. 

20 (a) SUDAN PEACE ACT.—It is the sense of Congress 

21 that the Sudan Peace Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 note) remains 

22 relevant and should be extended to include the Darfur re23 gion of Sudan. 

24 (b) ACTIONS TO ADDRESS GENOCIDE AND THE CON25 FLICT IN DARFUR.—It is the sense of Congress that—
8

•HR 5061 IH 

1 (1) the atrocities unfolding in the Darfur region 

2 of Sudan are genocide; 

3 (2) the Government of Sudan has violated the 

4 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of 

5 the Crime of Genocide, signed at Paris on December 

6 9, 1948, to which it is a contracting party, as a re7 sult of its complicity in the violence in the Darfur 

8 region; 

9 (3) a legitimate countrywide peace in Sudan 

10 will only be possible if the principles enumerated in 

11 the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, 

12 the Machakos Protocol of 2002, and the Nairobi 

13 Declaration on the Final Phase of Peace in the 

14 Sudan are applied to all of Sudan, including the 

15 Darfur region; 

16 (4) the parties to the Humanitarian Ceasefire 

17 on the Conflict in Darfur (the Government of 

18 Sudan, the SLA, and the JEM), signed in 

19 N’Djamena, Chad, on April 8, 2004, must meet 

20 their obligations under that agreement, including—

21 (A) to give up the use of force as a means 

22 of settling the conflict in the Darfur region; 

23 (B) to allow safe and immediate access of 

24 all humanitarian assistance throughout the 

25 Darfur region;

3 forces; and 

4 (D) to expedite the conclusion of a political

9 Government officials and other individuals who are 

10 determined to be involved in carrying out or other11 wise involved in the policy of genocide in the Darfur 

12 region, as well as on the assets and activities of 

13 businesses controlled by the Government of Sudan 

14 and the National Congress Party; 

15 (6) the United States Government should not 

16 normalize relations with Sudan, including through 

17 the lifting of any sanctions, until the Government of 

18 Sudan agrees to and implements a comprehensive 

19 peace agreement for all areas of Sudan, including 

20 the Darfur region; 

21 (7) the United States and the international 

22 community should use all necessary means to assist 

23 international monitors and security forces in the 

24 Darfur region, particularly the African Union moni25 toring team, in order to ensure an appropriate inter-
10

•HR 5061 IH 

1 national humanitarian response to, and the protec2 tion of human life and human rights in, the Darfur 

3 region; 

4 (8) the United States should continue to pro5 vide humanitarian assistance to the areas of Sudan 

6 to which the United States has access; 

7 (9) the member states of the United Nations, 

8 particularly the member states from the African 

9 Union, the Arab League, and the Organization of 

10 the Islamic Conference, should undertake measures 

11 to prevent the genocide in the Darfur region from 

12 escalating further, including the imposition of tar13 geted sanctions against those responsible for the 

14 atrocities; 

15 (10) in the areas of Sudan to which humani16 tarian access by the United States is obstructed or 

17 denied, the United States should provide humani18 tarian assistance through nongovernmental organiza19 tions, regardless of opposition to such assistance by 

20 the Government of Sudan; and 

21 (11) the international community, including Af22 rican, Arab, and Muslim nations, should immediately 

23 provide logistical, financial, in-kind, and personnel 

24 resources necessary to save the lives of hundreds of 

25 thousands of individuals in the Darfur crisis;
