Bill > HR1939

This bill, titled the U.S. Engagement in Sudanese Peace Act, is comprehensive legislation aimed at addressing the ongoing conflict in Sudan through multiple diplomatic, humanitarian, and sanctions-based approaches. The bill requires the President to develop and implement a strategy to support civilian protection, humanitarian assistance, and sustainable peace in Sudan, which includes establishing diplomatic negotiations, supporting an inclusive political dialogue, and providing assistance to grassroots organizations. It mandates the imposition of sanctions on foreign individuals and entities responsible for human rights violations, blocking humanitarian aid, or violating arms embargoes, with sanctions ranging from property blocking and financial restrictions to visa denials. The bill also emphasizes the importance of empowering Sudanese women and youth in conflict resolution and peace processes, directs U.S. representatives to advocate for humanitarian access and civilian protection at the United Nations, and authorizes assistance to deploy peacekeeping forces. Additionally, the legislation includes provisions for reporting on potential international crimes, U.S. weapons usage in the conflict, and humanitarian assistance restrictions, with the overarching goal of promoting peace, accountability, and a civilian-led democratic transition in Sudan.
