## Summary

**This bill would seek to secure an end to the war in Sudan** and degrade the networks and economy that fuel it. It would pair a diplomatic ceasefire strategy with new reporting rules, targeted sanctions, restrictions on assistance and international finance, and business risk guidance to pressure armed actors and protect civilians. - It would require detailed atrocity and foreign-involvement reports to Congress within 90 days and then semiannually, plus a classified Specially Designated Global Terrorist assessment within 90 days, to document war crimes, child recruitment, and foreign support. - It would authorize Presidentially led sanctions under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) that can block assets, bar transactions, and make individuals inadmissible, and it would restrict most U.S. and international financial institution support to actors who profit from or enable the conflict while preserving humanitarian exceptions and a national security waiver. - It would force a U.S. ceasefire and settlement strategy within 180 days, extend the Special Envoy for Sudan from 2 to 5 years, update the Sudan Business Risk Advisory within 90 days, and require Treasury reports on foreign-held assets within 180 days.
