Show full summary
- Would condemn attacks on civilians and single out the Rapid Support Forces' genocidal campaign in Darfur, noting the conflict's human toll of over 400,000 deaths and more than 14 million people displaced.
- Would applaud humanitarian groups and call on the warring parties to grant aid workers unfettered access and ensure their safety.
- Would call on external actors to immediately end material support to both the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces and would urge the U.S. Administration to lead diplomatic efforts toward a ceasefire and political transition.
- Would ask the international community to prioritize lifesaving relief now and to assist post-conflict reconstruction and transitional justice when circumstances allow.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects

Condemn Attacks on Sudan Civilians
If adopted, this resolution would condemn attacks on civilians in Sudan. It would specifically call out the Rapid Support Forces' genocidal campaign against non‑Arab communities in Darfur. It would urge the warring parties to stop attacks on schools, hospitals, and places of worship and to uphold international law. This would be a diplomatic statement and not a change to U.S. law.
Prioritize Humanitarian Relief and Justice
If adopted, this resolution would ask the international community to prioritize lifesaving humanitarian aid for civilians in Sudan. It would applaud humanitarian groups delivering assistance and call on the warring parties to give aid workers unfettered access and ensure their safety. It would also call for post-conflict reconstruction support at the appropriate time and for a strong transitional justice process to hold perpetrators accountable.
Stop External Support to Warring Parties
If adopted, this resolution would call on outside actors to immediately end material support to both the Rapid Support Forces and the Sudanese Armed Forces. It would call on the U.S. Executive Branch (named in the text) to take resolute action to end external support, help negotiate an end to the war, and restore civilian-led democratic governance. This would be a diplomatic request and not a binding change to U.S. law.
