pact on health service providers and limited access to 
health care for LGBTQI+ persons, including denial of

of villages, targeted attacks on marketplaces and schools, 
widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure and tele-
communication, the looting of homes and hospitals, as-
saults on camps for displaced persons, the destruction of 
humanitarian facilities, the killing of aid workers, and re-
strictions on humanitarian aid and access; and 
Whereas credible descriptions of the RSF’s objective of elimi-
nation of the line of ancestry of the non-Arab tribes of 
Darfur, survivors’ statements reporting that identifying 
as Masalit is a death sentence, and reports that the RSF 
made clear that there is no place in Sudan for the 
Masalit, against the backdrop of the prior genocide in 
Darfur, evince a specific intent on the part of the RSF 
to destroy the Masalit and other non-Arab ethnic groups 
in Darfur in whole or in substantial part: Now, therefore, 
be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) condemns atrocities, including those that 
amount to genocide, being committed by the Rapid Sup-
port Forces (RSF) and allied militias against the 
Masalit people and other non-Arab ethnic groups in 
Darfur, and the roles of the RSF and Sudanese Armed 
Forces (SAF) in perpetrating atrocities, humanitarian 
catastrophe, and the destruction of Sudan; 
(2) calls for an immediate end to the war and all 
violence and atrocities in Sudan;

(3) urges the Government of the United States— 
(A) to take immediate steps with the inter-
national community, including through multilateral

safe zones and humanitarian corridors, enforcing 
the United Nations Security Council arms embargo 
on Darfur, and brokering a comprehensive cease- 
fire between the warring parties in Sudan; 
(B) to support the consistent and transparent 
documentation of atrocities and genocidal acts in 
Sudan by instituting a mechanism that will, to the 
greatest extent possible, publicly release such docu-
mentation on a consistent and regular basis; 
(C) 
to 
immediately 
identify 
mechanisms 
through which to fund local, community-based orga-
nizations that are currently providing nonlethal as-
sistance to the Sudanese people in conflict-affected 
areas that traditional implementing partners cannot 
reach, including for the delivery of food, medical 
aid, and shelter to individuals impacted by the war 
in Sudan; and 
(D) to review and update the atrocities deter-
mination for Sudan every 180 days for 3 years from 
enactment;
•HRES 1328 EH 
(4) supports tribunals and international criminal in-
vestigations to hold the RSF and allied militias account-
able for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and geno-
cide; and

conduct a comprehensive review of its efforts to prevent, 
analyze, and respond to atrocities in Sudan, in align-
ment with the 2022 United States Strategy to Antici-

the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in

group, as such: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) 
Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the

Whereas the genocide that began in 2003 in Darfur per-
petrated by the Government of Sudan and its proxy 
Janjaweed militia, explicitly targeting the Fur, Zaghawa, 
and Masalit ethnic communities through mass killings, 
forced displacement, the razing of villages and cropland, 
widespread rape, aerial bombings of civilians, and the 
blocking of humanitarian assistance, killed at least 
200,000 civilians and displaced 2,000,000 people; 
Whereas, on July 22, 2004, Congress declared, with the pas-
sage of House Concurrent Resolution 467 (108th Con-
gress) and Senate Concurrent Resolution 133 (108th 
Congress), that atrocities occurring in Darfur were geno-
cide, and the administration of President George W. 
Bush declared genocide in Darfur on September 9, 2004; 
Whereas, in 2013, the Government of Sudan, under the ad-
ministration of the National Intelligence and Security 
Service (NISS) and the command of the Sudanese Armed 
Forces (SAF), formed the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), 
a formal paramilitary force composed primarily of 
Janjaweed militia; 
Whereas Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo (commonly known as 
‘‘Hemedti’’), a Janjaweed militia leader during the geno-
cide in Darfur that began in 2003, served as head of the 
RSF and became the deputy head of the Transitional 
Military Council, which took power from the President of 
Sudan Omar al-Bashir in 2019, and the deputy chairman

eral civil service (referred to in this preamble as ‘‘civilian

individuals professionally, financially, socially, and medi-
cally, among other harms; 
Whereas Congress enacted legislation, led oversight hearings, 
and issued reports and public pronouncements against 
LGBT military service members, Foreign Service mem-
bers, and civilian employees; 
Whereas the policy that led to the discharge and systematic 
screening of gay, lesbian, and bisexual military service 
members was codified in a 1949 decree by the newly con-
solidated Department of Defense, which mandated that 
‘‘homosexual personnel, irrespective of sex, should not be 
permitted to serve in any branch of the Armed Forces in 
any capacity and prompt separation of known homo-
sexuals from the Armed Forces is mandatory’’; 
Whereas the Federal Government maintained policies to drive 
hundreds of thousands of LGBT military service mem-
bers, who honorably served the United States in uniform, 
including many who were fighting in wars around the 
world, from its military ranks; 
Whereas, in 1993, Congress enacted the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994 (Public Law 
103–160; 107 Stat. 1547), which contained the so-called 
‘‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’’ policy that prohibited lesbian, 
gay, and bisexual military service members from dis-
closing their sexual orientation while they served in the 
Armed Forces; 
Whereas, despite the ‘‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’’ policy, LGBT
