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 Darfur, Sudan, 
        are genocide.
            (2) On September 9, 2004, Secretary of State Colin L. 
        Powell stated before the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 
        Senate, ``[w]hen we reviewed the evidence compiled by our team, 
        along with other information available to the State Department, 
        we concluded that genocide has been committed in Darfur and 
        that the Government of Sudan and the [Janjaweed] bear 
        responsibility--and genocide may still be occurring''.
            (3) 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 carried out other 
        atrocities in the Darfur region.
            (4) 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 into 
        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, such as actions to affect Sudan's petroleum sector.
            (5) In late January 2005, the International Commission of 
        Inquiry on Darfur submitted a 176-page report to Secretary 
        General Kofi Annan detailing the atrocities committed by the 
        Government of Sudan and its Janjaweed militia allies.
            (6) The Commission declared that ``based on thorough 
        analysis of the information gathered in the course of the 
        investigations, the Commission established that the Government 
        of Sudan and the Janjaweed are responsible for serious 
        violations of international human rights and humanitarian law 
        amounting to crimes under international law.''.
            (7) The Commission further stated that Sudanese Government 
        officials and other individuals may have committed genocidal 
        acts, and submitted a sealed document with 51 suspects for 
        prosecution by the International Criminal Court (ICC).

SEC. 4. SENSE OF CONGRESS.

    It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the atrocities unfolding in Darfur, Sudan, are 
        genocide;
            (2) the Comprehensive Peace Agreement between the 
        Government of Sudan and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement/
        Army must be fully and unconditionally implemented and a new 
        coalition government established under such Agreement;
            (3) the African Union must amend the mandate of the African 
        Union Mission in the Sudan to focus directly on protecting 
        civilians from attacks and to neutralize the Janjaweed militia 
        and other militia groups engaged in attacks against civilians;
            (4) the United Nations or NATO should deploy at least 
        10,000 troops to the Darfur region to augment the African Union 
        Mission in the Sudan;
            (5) the United States strongly condemns attacks on 
        humanitarian workers and calls on all forces in Darfur, 
        including forces of the Government of Sudan, all militia, and 
        forces of the Sudan Liberation Army/Movement and the Justice 
        and Equality Movement, to refrain from such attacks;
            (6) the President should appoint a Presidential Special

        action by the United Nations Security Council, pursuant to 
        chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations, to ensure the 
        prompt prosecution and adjudication in a competent 
        international court of justice or the United States-proposed 
        Sudan Tribunal of individuals responsible for war crimes, 
        crimes against humanity, and genocide; and
            (8) the President of the United States shall instruct the

        demand--
                    (A) the extension of the military embargo to the

                in Darfur;
                    (C) that member states significantly reduce the 
                number and the level of the staff at Sudanese

                control the movement within their territory of all such 
                staff who remain;
                    (D) steps to restrict the entry into or transit
