§10011 Reports

Summary

The President must send several reports to the relevant congressional committees on a set schedule starting 180 days after January 1, 2021. One report, due then and once a year for 2 years, must summarize gross human rights abuses in Sudan (including sexual and gender-based violence) from December 2018 up to the report date; give an update on any plans to investigate, charge, or prosecute people for abuses going back to June 30, 1989 (including the June 3, 2019 Khartoum massacre); analyze whether those abuses could be war crimes, crimes against humanity, or genocide; and name specific cases since the start of the transitional period in which members of Sudan’s security or intelligence services were charged or prosecuted for abuses since June 30, 1989. Another report, due 180 days after January 1, 2021 and again one year later, must describe actions by current or former senior Sudanese officials since the start of the transitional government in August 2019 in five areas (major human rights abuses, unlawful use or recruitment of children, serious corruption, efforts to hide security services’ finances from civilian control, and support or financing of terrorism). It must also list financial institutions (including offshore ones) where those officials hold significant assets and estimate their value; and report any U.S. government information since August 2019 about people, governments, or financial firms that enable corruption or illicit trade (including mineral exports), senior officials involved in illegal mineral trade (including petroleum and gold), or outside payments to members of the Sovereignty Council or Cabinet. Separately, within 180 days after January 1, 2021 the President must identify senior Sudanese officials who meet the criteria for sanctions under Executive Order No. 13400 (relating to blocking property connected to the conflict in Darfur). The reports required above for those parts must be unclassified but may include a classified annex.
