sell their organs out of desperation or harvested 
from prisoners. 
(2) The Council of Europe is investigating alle-
gations made by Ms. Carla del Ponte, a former chief 
prosecutor at the International Criminal Tribunal of 
the Former Yugoslavia, that approximately 300 eth-
nic Serbs in Kosovo were kidnapped in 1999 with 
their organs being forcibly removed for sale by their 
captors. 
(3) The Special Rapporteur for the Council of 
Europe’s Social, Health and Family Affairs Com-
mittee, Mrs. Ruth-Gaby Vermot-Mangold, inter-
viewed a number of coerced kidney donors during a 
May 2003 visit to Moldova, who were all young men 
driven by extreme poverty to sell their kidneys for a 
sum of $2,500 to $3,000, and reported that the 
medical follow-up of these illegal organ harvesting 
operations lasted no more than five days, after 
which the donors were sent back on a bus to their 
home country, frequently causing permanent disabil-
ities due to complications from the operations.

teur, Vermot-Mangold, also reported that the recipi-

measures to reduce military expenditures are thus a
critical need for many African countries.
(8) Conflict prevention, mediation, and demobi-
lization are prerequisites to the success of develop-
ment assistance programs. Nutrition and education
programs, for example, cannot succeed in a nation
at war. Billions of dollars of development assistance
have been virtually wasted in war-ravaged countries
such as Liberia, Somalia, and Sudan.
(9) Africans have a long tradition of informal
mediation. This tradition should be built upon to
create effective institutions through which Africans
can resolve African conflicts.
(10) The Organization of African Unity, under
the leadership of Secretary General Salim Salim, has
established a conflict resolution mechanism and has
been active in mediation and conflict resolution in
several African countries. Various subregional orga-
nizations have also become active in conflict resolu-
tion efforts. These are encouraging developments.
(b) UNITED STATES POLICY.—The Congress de-
clares, therefore, that a key goal for United States foreign
policy should be to help institutionalize conflict resolution
capability in Africa.

AN ACT
To authorize assistance to promote the peaceful resolution
of conflicts in Africa.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘African Conflict Reso-
lution Act’’.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND STATEMENT OF POLICY.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following
findings:
(1) It is in the national interest of the United
States to help build African capability in conflict
resolution. A relatively small investment of assist-
ance in promoting African conflict resolution—
(A) would reduce the enormous human
suffering which is caused by wars in Africa;
(B) would help the United States avoid
huge future expenditures necessitated by Soma-
lia-like humanitarian disasters; and
(C) would reduce the need for United Na-
tions intervention as African institutions de-
velop the ability to resolve African conflicts.
(2) Africa, to a greater extent than any other
continent, is afflicted by war. Africa has been
marred by more than 20 major civil wars since
1960. Rwanda, Somalia, Angola, Sudan, Liberia,
and Burundi are among those countries that have
recently suffered serious armed conflict.
(3) In the last decade alone, between 2,000,000
and 4,000,000 Africans have died because of war.
There were 5,200,000 refugees and 13,100,000 dis-
placed people in Africa in 1993. In Angola, relief or-
ganizations estimated that 1,000 people were dying
each day at the end of 1993. In Rwanda, more than
200,000 people died in less than 5 weeks of fighting

‘‘(i) with a self-contained condensing

planned to be provided for the demobilization of

(A) a list of which countries will receive

countries were chosen for such assistance; and
(B) a list of other countries and inter-
national organizations that are providing assist-
ance for such demobilization.
(3) The type and amount of assistance that is

of the Senate.
