SEC. 3. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) On July 23, 2004, Congress declared, ``the atrocities 
        unfolding 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, ``genocide has occurred and may still be occurring in 
        Darfur'', and ``the Government of Sudan and the Janjaweed bear 
        responsibility''.
            (3) On September 21, 2004, in an address before the United 
        Nations General Assembly, President 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 Security Council 
        passed Security Council Resolution 1556 (2004), 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 establishing a 
        ban on the sale or supply of arms and related materiel of all 
        types, including the provision of related technical training or 
        assistance, to all nongovernmental entities and individuals, 
        including the Janjaweed.
            (5) On September 18, 2004, the United Nations Security 
        Council passed Security Council Resolution 1564 (2004), 
        determining that the Government of Sudan had failed to meet its 
        obligations under Security Council Resolution 1556 (2004), 
        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 on Darfur to investigate 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 (2004) and 
        1564 (2004), including such actions as to affect Sudan's 
        petroleum sector or individual members of the Government of 
        Sudan.
            (6) The Report of the International Commission of Inquiry 
        on Darfur, submitted to the United Nations Secretary-General on 
        January 25, 2005, established 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 systematic basis, and therefore 
        may amount to crimes against humanity,'' and that officials of 
        the Government of Sudan and other individuals may have acted 
        with ``genocidal intent''.
            (7) On March 24, 2005, the United Nations Security Council 
        passed Security Council Resolution 1590 (2005), establishing 
        the United Nations Mission in Sudan (referred to in this 
        section as the ``UNMIS''), consisting of up to 10,000 military 
        personnel and 715 civilian police tasked with supporting the 
        implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement for Sudan 
        and to ``closely and continuously liaise and coordinate at all 
        levels with the African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS)'', which 
        had been established by the African Union on May 24, 2004, to 
        monitor the implementation of the N'Djamena Humanitarian 
        Ceasefire Agreement, signed on April 8, 2004, ``with a view 
        towards expeditiously reinforcing the effort to foster peace in 
        Darfur''.
            (8) On March 29, 2005, the United Nations Security Council 
        passed Security Council Resolution 1591 (2005), extending the 
        military embargo established by Security Council Resolution 
        1556 (2004) 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, calling 
        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, commit violations of international 
        humanitarian or human rights law or other atrocities, are 
        responsible for offensive military overflights, or violate the 
        military embargo, and establishing a Committee of the Security 
        Council and a panel of experts to assist in monitoring 
        compliance with Security Council Resolutions 1556 (2004) and 
        1591 (2005).
            (9) On March 31, 2005, the United Nations Security Council 
        passed Security Council Resolution 1593 (2005), referring the 
        situation in Darfur since July 1, 2002, to the prosecutor of 
        the International Criminal Court and calling on the Government 
        of Sudan and all parties to the conflict to cooperate fully 
        with the Court.
            (10) On July 30, 2005, Dr. John Garang de Mabior, the newly 
        appointed Vice President of Sudan and the leader of the 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.
            (11) On January 12, 2006, the African Union Peace and 
        Security Council issued a communique endorsing, in principle, a 
        transition from AMIS to a United Nations peacekeeping operation 
        and requested the Chairperson of the Council to initiate 
        consultations with the United Nations and other stakeholders 
        toward this end.
            (12) On February 3, 2006, the United Nations Security 
        Council issued a Presidential Statement authorizing the 
        initiation of contingency planning for a transition from AMIS 
        to a United Nations peacekeeping operation.
            (13) On March 10, 2006, the African Union Peace and 
        Security Council extended the mandate of AMIS, which had 
        reached a force size of 7,000, to September 30, 2006, while 
        simultaneously endorsing the transition of AMIS to a United 
        Nations peacekeeping operation and setting April 30, 2006 as 
        the deadline for reaching an agreement to resolve the crisis in 
        Darfur.
            (14) On March 24, 2006, the United Nations Security Council 
        passed Security Council Resolution 1663 (2006), which--
                    (A) welcomes the African Peace and Security 
                Council's March 10, 2006 communique; and
                    (B) requests that the United Nations Secretary-
                General, jointly with the African Union and in 
                consultation with the parties to the Abuja Peace Talks, 
                expedite planning for the transition of AMIS to a 
                United Nations peacekeeping operation.
            (15) On March 29, 2006, during a speech at Freedom House, 
        President Bush called for a transition to a United Nations 
        peacekeeping operation and ``additional forces with a NATO 
        overlay . . . to provide logistical and command-and-control and 
        airlift capacity, but also to send a clear signal to parties 
        involved that the west is determined to help effect a 
        settlement.''.
            (16) On April 25, 2006, the United Nations Security Council 
        passed Security Council Resolution 1672 (2006), unanimously 
        imposing targeted financial sanctions and travel restrictions 
        on 4 individuals who had been identified as those who, among 
        other acts, ``impede the peace process, constitute a threat to 
        stability in Darfur and the region, commit violations of 
        international humanitarian or human rights law or other 
        atrocities'', including the Commander of the Western Military 
        Region for the armed forces of Sudan, the Paramount Chief of 
        the Jalul Tribe in North Darfur, the Commander of the Sudan 
        Liberation Army, and the Field Commander of the National 
        Movement for Reform and Development.
            (17) On May 5, 2006, under the auspices of African Union 
        mediation and the direct engagement of the international 
        community, including the United States, the Government of Sudan 
        and the largest rebel faction in Darfur, the Sudan Liberation 
        Movement, led by Minni Minnawi, signed the Darfur Peace 
        Agreement, which addresses security, power sharing, and wealth 
        sharing issues between the parties.
            (18) In August 2006, the Sudanese government began to amass 
        military forces and equipment in the Darfur region in 
        contravention of the Darfur Peace Agreement to which they are 
        signatories in what appears to be preliminary to full scale 
        war.
            (19) On August 30, 2006, the United Nations Security 
        Council passed Security Council Resolution 1706 (2006), without 
        dissent and with abstentions by China, Russian Federation, and 
        Qatar, thereby asserting that the existing United Nations 
        Mission in Sudan ``shall take over from AMIS responsibility for 
        supporting the implementation of the Darfur Peace Agreement 
        upon the expiration of AMIS' mandate but in any event no later 
        than 31 December 2006'', and that UNMIS ``shall be strengthened 
        by up to 17,300 military personnel . . . 3,300 civilian police 
        personnel and up to 16 Formed Police Units'', which ``shall 
        begin to be deployed [to Darfur] no later than 1 October 
        2006''.
            (20) Between August 30 and September 3, 2006, President 
        Bashir and other senior members of his administration have 
        publicly rejected United Nations Security Council Resolution 
        1706 (2006), calling it illegal and a western invasion of his 
        country, despite the current presence of 10,000 United Nations 
        peacekeepers under the UNMIS peacekeeping force.
            (21) Since 1993, the Secretary of State has determined, 
        pursuant to section 6(j) of the Export Administration Act of 
        1979 (50 App. U.S.C. 2405(j)), that Sudan is a country, the 
        government of which has repeatedly provided support for acts of 
        international terrorism, thereby restricting United States 
        assistance, defense exports and sales, and financial and other 
        transactions 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 complicity and support of the National Congress Party-
        led faction of the Government of Sudan;
            (2) all parties to the conflict in the Darfur region 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 
        personnel of AMIS is increasing;
            (3) the African Union should immediately make all necessary 
        preparations for an orderly transition to a United Nations 
        peacekeeping operation, which will maintain an appropriate 
        level of African participation, with a mandate to protect 
        civilians and humanitarian operations, assist in the 
        implementation of the Darfur Peace Agreement, and deter 
        violence in the Darfur region;
            (4) the international community, including the United 
        States and the European Union, should immediately act to 
        mobilize sufficient political, military, and financial 
        resources through the United Nations and the North Atlantic 
        Treaty Organization, to support the transition of AMIS to a 
        United Nations peacekeeping operation with the size, strength, 
        and capacity necessary to protect civilians and humanitarian 
        operations, to assist with the implementation of the Darfur 
        Peace Agreement, and to end the continued violence in the 
        Darfur region;
            (5) if an expanded and reinforced AMIS or subsequent United 
        Nations peacekeeping operation fails to stop genocide in the 
        Darfur region, the international community should take 
        additional measures to prevent and suppress acts of genocide in 
        the Darfur region;
            (6) acting under article 5 of the Charter of the United 
        Nations, the United Nations Security Council should call for 
        suspension of the Government of Sudan's rights and privileges 
        of membership by the General Assembly until such time as the 
        Government 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;
            (7) the President should use all necessary and appropriate 
        diplomatic means to ensure the full discharge 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 (2005);
            (8) the President should direct the United States Permanent 
        Representative to the United Nations to use the voice, vote, 
        and influence of the United States to urge the adoption of a 
        resolution by the United Nations Security Council that--
                    (A) extends the military embargo established by 
                United Nations Security Resolutions 1556 (2004) and 
                1591 (2005) to include a total ban on the sale or 
                supply of offensive military equipment to the 
                Government of Sudan, except for use in an 
                internationally recognized demobilization program or 
                for nonlethal assistance necessary to carry out 
                elements of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement for Sudan 
                or the Darfur Peace Agreement; and
                    (B) calls upon those member states of the United 
                Nations that continue to undermine efforts to foster 
                peace in Sudan by providing military assistance to the 
                Government of Sudan, government supported militias, or 
                any rebel group operating in Darfur in violation of the 
                embargo on such assistance and equipment, as called for 
                in United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1556 
                (2004) and 1591 (2005), to immediately cease and 
                desist.
            (9) the United States should not provide assistance to the 
        Government of Sudan, other than assistance necessary for the 
        implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement for Sudan 
        and the Darfur Peace Agreement, the support of the regional 
        Government of Southern Sudan, the Transitional Darfur Regional 
        Authority, and marginalized areas in Northern Sudan (including 
        the Nuba Mountains, Southern Blue Nile, Abyei, Eastern Sudan 
        (Beja), Darfur, and Nubia), or for humanitarian purposes in 
        Sudan, until the Government of Sudan has honored pledges to 
        cease attacks upon civilians, demobilize and demilitarize the 
        Janjaweed and associated militias, grant free and unfettered 
        access for deliveries of humanitarian assistance in the Darfur 
        region, and allow for the safe and voluntary return of refugees 
        and internally displaced persons;
            (10) the President should seek to assist members of the 
        Sudanese diaspora in the United States by establishing a 
        student loan forgiveness program for those individuals who 
        commit to return to Southern Sudan for a period of not less 
        than 5 years for the purpose of contributing professional 
        skills needed for the reconstruction of Southern Sudan;
            (11) the Presidential Special Envoy for Sudan should be 
        provided with appropriate resources and a clear mandate to--
                    (A) provide stewardship of efforts to implement the 
                Comprehensive Peace Agreement for Sudan and the Darfur 
                Peace Agreement;
                    (B) seek ways to bring stability and peace to the 
                Darfur region;
                    (C) address instability elsewhere in Sudan, Chad, 
                and northern Uganda; and
                    (D) pursue a truly comprehensive peace throughout 
                the region;
            (12) the international community should strongly condemn 
        attacks against humanitarian workers and African Union 
        personnel, and the forcible recruitment of refugees and 
        internally displaced persons from camps in Chad and Sudan, and 
        demand that all armed groups in the region, including the 
        forces of the Government of Sudan, the Janjaweed, associated 
        militias, the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army, the Justice and 
        Equality Movement, the National Movement for Reform and 
        Development (NMRD), and all other armed groups refrain from 
        such activities;
            (13) the United States should fully support the 
        Comprehensive Peace Agreement for Sudan and the Darfur Peace 
        Agreement and urge rapid implementation of their terms;
            (14) the May 5, 2006 signing of the Darfur Peace Agreement 
        between the Government of Sudan and the Sudan Liberation 
        Movement was a positive development in a situation that has 
        seen little political progress in 2 years and should be seized

        such time as the Government of Sudan has honored its 
        commitments to cease attacks on civilians, demobilize and 
        demilitarize the Janjaweed and associated militias, grant free 
        and unfettered access for deliveries of humanitarian
