                               RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing disapproval of the Arab League's decision to hold its 2006 
     summit in Khartoum, Sudan and calling on the Arab League, the 
Government of Sudan, the Sudanese rebels, and the world community to do 
  all they can to end acts of genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan.

Whereas the Arab League has tentatively scheduled its 2006 summit to be held in 
        Khartoum, Sudan in March 2006;
Whereas the Government of Sudan continues to allow acts of genocide in the 
        Darfur region of Sudan and deliberately obstructs the ability of the 
        African Union (AU) to stabilize the Darfur region;
Whereas the decision to hold the 2006 Arab League summit in Sudan is an economic 
        reward for a country that is currently under United States sanctions and 
        should be under United Nations sanctions; and
Whereas the decision to hold the 2006 Arab League summit in Sudan will encourage 
        the Government of Sudan to continue to allow acts of genocide and other 
        mistreatment against the people of the Darfur region of Sudan: Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) disapproves of the Arab League's decision to hold its 
        2006 summit in Khartoum, Sudan; and
            (2) continues to call on the Arab League, the Government of 
        Sudan, the Sudanese rebels, and the world community to do all 
        they can to end the acts of genocide in the Darfur region of 
        Sudan.
                                 <all>
