     taking place in Sudan;

     territory and actors within the internationally recognized 
     borders of Sudan;
       (B) expand the Darfur arms embargo to include dual-use 
     equipment under the list of prohibited material; and
       (C) establish a more stringent sanctions enforcement regime 
     to ensure actors violating the current Darfur arms embargo 
     are held accountable;

       (A) increase and develop improved mechanisms for monitoring 
     and documenting atrocities and weapons supply chains into and 
     across Sudan; and
       (B) use its voice and vote at the UN Security Council to 
     better enforce the current arms embargo on Darfur and expand 
     the embargo to all of Sudan; and

     allies and partners to condemn the atrocities taking place in 
     Sudan;
       (B) call for a more effective and inclusive arms embargo on 
     Sudan;
       (C) work to ensure unfettered delivery of humanitarian aid 
     across Sudan;

     allied militias to end this conflict; and
