SEC. 3. FINDINGS. 
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) On July 22, 2004, the House of Represent-
atives and the Senate declared that the atrocities oc-
curring in the Darfur region of Sudan are genocide. 
(2) On September 9, 2004, Secretary of State 
Colin L. Powell stated before the Committee on For-
eign 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 be-
fore the United Nations General Assembly, Presi-
dent 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 Se-
curity Council passed Security Council Resolution 
1556, calling upon the Government of Sudan to dis-
arm the Janjaweed militias and to apprehend and 
bring to justice Janjaweed leaders and their associ-
ates 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 provi-
sion of related technical training or assistance, to all 
nongovernmental entities and individuals, including 
the Janjaweed. 
(5) On September 18, 2004, the United Na-
tions Security Council passed Security Council Reso-
lution 1564, determining that the Government of 
Sudan had failed to meet its obligations under Secu-
rity 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 Inter-
national Commission of Inquiry on Darfur to inves-
tigate 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, includ-
ing such actions as to affect Sudan’s petroleum sec-
tor or individual members of the Government of 
Sudan. 
(6) The Report of the International Commis-
sion of Inquiry on Darfur, submitted to the United 
Nations Secretary-General on January 25, 2005, es-
tablished 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 sys-
tematic basis, and therefore may amount to crimes 
against humanity,’’ and that Sudanese officials and 
other individuals may have acted with ‘‘genocidal in-
tent’’. 
(7) The Report of the International Commis-
sion of Inquiry on Darfur further notes that, pursu-
ant to its mandate and in the course of its work, the 
Commission had collected information relating to in-
dividual perpetrators of acts constituting ‘‘violations 
of international human rights law and international 
humanitarian law, including crimes against human-
ity 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 Se-
curity 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 tasked with sup-
porting implementation of the Comprehensive Peace 
Agreement for Sudan and ‘‘closely and continuously 
liais[ing] and coordinat[ing] at all levels with the Af-
rican 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 Se-
curity 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 of April 8, 
2004, and any other belligerents in the states of 
North Darfur, South Darfur, and West Darfur, call-
ing 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, com-
mit violations of international humanitarian or 
human rights law or other atrocities, are responsible 
for offensive military overflights, or violate the mili-
tary embargo, and establishing a Committee of the 
Security Council and a Panel of Experts to assist in 
monitoring compliance with Security Council Resolu-
tions 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 Crimi-
nal 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 Libera-
tion 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 Sudanese to the 
Comprehensive Peace Agreement for Sudan. 
(13) Since 1993, the Secretary of State has de-
termined that the Republic of Sudan is a country 
which has repeatedly provided support for acts of 
international terrorism and, pursuant to section 6(j) 
of the Export Administration Act of 1979, section 
40 of the Arms Export Control Act, and section 
620A of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, des-
ignated Sudan as a State Sponsor of Terrorism, 
thereby restricting United States assistance, defense 
exports and sales, and financial and other trans-
actions with the Government of 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 acts of terrorism and 
atrocities directed against civilians, including mass 
murder, rape, and sexual violence committed by the 
Janjaweed and associated militias with the com-
plicity and support of the National Congress Party-
led faction of the Government of Sudan; 
(2) the Secretary of State should designate the 
Janjaweed militia as a foreign terrorist organization 
pursuant to section 219 of the Immigration and Na-
tionality Act; 
(3) all parties to the conflict in the Darfur re-
gion 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 per-
sonnel of the African Union Mission in Sudan 
(AMIS) is increasing; 
(4) the African Union should rapidly expand 
the size and amend the mandate of the African 
Union Mission in Sudan to authorize such action as 
may be necessary to protect civilians and humani-
tarian operations, and deter violence in the Darfur 
region without delay;
(5) the international community, including the 
United Nations, the North Atlantic Treaty Organi-
zation (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 Mis-
sion 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; 
(6) 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; 
(7) acting under Article 5 of the Charter of the 
United Nations, the United Nations Security Coun-
cil should call for suspension of the Government of 
Sudan’s rights and privileges of membership by the 
General Assembly until such time as the Govern-
ment of Sudan has honored pledges to cease attacks 
upon civilians, demobilize and demilitarize the 
Janjaweed and associated militias, and grant free 
and unfettered access for deliveries of humanitarian 
assistance in the Darfur region;
(8) the President should use all necessary and 
appropriate diplomatic means to ensure the full dis-
charge 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); 
(9) the United States should not provide assist-
ance to the Government of Sudan, other than assist-
ance necessary for the implementation of the Com-
prehensive 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, East-
ern 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 and demili-
tarize the Janjaweed and associated militias, grant 
free and unfettered access for deliveries of humani-
tarian assistance in the Darfur region, and allow for 
the safe and voluntary return of refugees and inter-
nally displaced persons; 
(10) the President should seek to assist mem-
bers of the Sudanese diaspora in the United States
by establishing a student loan forgiveness program 
for those individuals who commit to return to south-
ern Sudan for a period of not less than five years 
for the purpose of contributing professional skills 
needed for the reconstruction of southern Sudan; 
(11) the President should appoint a Presi-
dential Envoy for Sudan with appropriate resources 
and a clear mandate to provide stewardship of ef-
forts to implement the Comprehensive Peace Agree-
ment for Sudan, seek ways to bring stability and 
peace to the Darfur region, address instability else-
where in Sudan and northern Uganda, and pursue 
a truly comprehensive peace throughout the region; 
(12) to achieve the goals specified in paragraph 
(10) and to further promote human rights and civil 
liberties, build democracy, and strengthen civil soci-
ety, the Presidential Envoy for Sudan should be em-
powered to promote and encourage the exchange of 
individuals pursuant to educational and cultural pro-
grams, including programs funded by the Govern-
ment of the United States; 
(13) 
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 Govern-
ment of Sudan, the Janjaweed, associated militias, 
the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army (SLM/A), the 
Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), and all 
other armed groups refrain from such attacks; 
(14) the United States should fully support the 
Comprehensive Peace Agreement for Sudan and 
urge rapid implementation of its terms; and 
(15) the new leadership of the Sudan People’s 
Liberation Movement (SPLM) should—
(A) seek to transform the SPLM into an 
inclusive, transparent, and democratic 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 efforts to 
undermine the SPLM.
