Bill > SRes126

This resolution calls on the United Nations Security Council to take decisive action regarding the ongoing conflict in Sudan, specifically by expanding and strengthening the existing arms embargo on Darfur to cover the entire country. The resolution condemns the atrocities committed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), including genocide against the Masalit people and other non-Arab ethnic groups, and highlights the devastating humanitarian consequences of the conflict, which has resulted in tens of thousands of civilian casualties, massive displacement, and widespread human rights abuses. The key provisions include expanding the arms embargo to cover all of Sudan's territory, including dual-use equipment, establishing more rigorous sanctions enforcement, creating mechanisms for humanitarian aid delivery and civilian protection, and calling on the United States government to increase support for civil society organizations, improve atrocity monitoring, resume foreign assistance, and develop support for conflict-related sexual violence victims. Additionally, the resolution urges the United Nations, African Union, and other international partners to condemn the atrocities, enforce the arms embargo, ensure humanitarian aid access, and pressure both the SAF and RSF to end the conflict.
