Powell stated before the Committee on Foreign Relations of the
Senate, ``[w]hen we reviewed the evidence compiled by our team,
along with other information available to the State Department,
we concluded that genocide has been committed in Darfur and

responsibility--and genocide may still be occurring''.

Nations General Assembly, President George W. Bush affirmed the
Secretary of State's finding and stated, ``[a]t this hour, the

on Darfur established that the ``Government of the Sudan and
the Janjaweed are responsible for serious violations of
international human rights and humanitarian law amounting to
crimes under international law,'' that ``these acts were
conducted on a widespread and systematic basis, and therefore
may amount to crimes against humanity,'' and that Sudanese
officials and other individuals may have acted with ``genocidal
intent''.
(8) The Report of the International Commission of Inquiry
on Darfur further notes that, pursuant to its mandate and in
the course of its work, the Commission had collected

Agreement for Sudan and ``closely and continuously liais[ing]

embargo established by Security Council Resolution 1556 to all
the parties to the N'djamena Ceasefire Agreement and any other
belligerents in the states of North Darfur, South Darfur, and
West Darfur, calling for an asset freeze and travel ban against
those individuals who impede the peace process, constitute a
threat to stability in Darfur and the region, commit violations
of international humanitarian or human rights law or other
atrocities, are responsible for offensive military overflights,
or violate the military embargo, and establishing a Committee
of the Security Council and a Panel of Experts to assist in
monitoring compliance with Security Council Resolutions 1556

of Sudan and all parties to the conflict to cooperate fully
with the Court.
(12) In remarks before the G-8 Summit on June 30, 2005,
President Bush reconfirmed that ``the violence in Darfur is
clearly genocide'' and ``the human cost is beyond
calculation''.
SEC. 4. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) the atrocities unfolding in the Darfur region of Sudan
have been and continue to be genocide;
(2) the African Union should rapidly expand the size and
amend the mandate of the African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS)
to authorize such action as may be necessary to protect
civilians and humanitarian operations, and deter violence in
the Darfur region without delay;
(3) the international community, including the United
Nations, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the
European Union, and the United States, should immediately act
to mobilize sufficient political, military, and financial
resources to support the expansion of the African Union Mission
in Sudan so that it achieves the size, strength, and capacity
necessary for protecting civilians and humanitarian operations,
and ending the continued violence in the Darfur region;
(4) if an expanded and reinforced African Union Mission in
Sudan fails to stop genocide in the Darfur region, the
international community should take additional, dispositive
measures to prevent and suppress acts of genocide in the Darfur
region;
(5) acting under Article 5 of the Charter of the United
Nations, the United Nations Security Council should call for
suspension of the Government of Sudan's rights and privileges
of membership by the General Assembly until such time as the
Government of Sudan has honored pledges to cease attacks upon
civilians, demobilize the Janjaweed and associated militias,
grant free and unfettered access for deliveries of humanitarian
assistance in the Darfur region, and allow for safe, unimpeded,
and voluntary return of refugees and internally displaced
persons;
(6) the President should use all necessary and appropriate
diplomatic means to ensure the full discharge of the
responsibilities of the Committee of the United Nations
Security Council and the Panel of Experts established pursuant
to section 3(a) of Security Council Resolution 1591 (March 29,
2005);
(7) the United States should not provide assistance to the
Government of Sudan, other than assistance necessary for the
implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement for Sudan,
the support of the regional Government of Southern Sudan and
marginalized areas in northern Sudan (including the Nuba
Mountains, Southern Blue Nile, Abyei, Eastern Sudan (Beja),
Darfur, and Nubia), as well as marginalized peoples in and
around Khartoum, or for humanitarian purposes in Sudan, until
such time as the Government of Sudan has honored pledges to
cease attacks upon civilians, demobilize the Janjaweed and
associated militias, grant free and unfettered access for
deliveries of humanitarian assistance in the Darfur region, and
allow for safe, unimpeded, and voluntary return of refugees and
internally displaced persons;
(8) the President should seek to assist members of the
Sudanese diaspora in the United States by establishing a
student loan forgiveness program for those individuals who
commit to return to southern Sudan for a period of not less
than five years for the purpose of contributing professional
skills needed for the reconstruction of southern Sudan;
(9) the President should appoint a Presidential Envoy for
Sudan to provide stewardship of efforts to implement the
Comprehensive Peace Agreement for Sudan, seek ways to bring
stability and peace to the Darfur region, address instability
elsewhere in Sudan and northern Uganda, and pursue a truly
comprehensive peace throughout the region;
(10) the international community should strongly condemn
attacks against humanitarian workers and demand that all armed
groups in the Darfur region, including the forces of the
Government of Sudan, the Janjaweed, associated militias, the
Sudan Liberation Movement/Army (SLM/A), the Justice and
Equality Movement (JEM), and all other armed groups to refrain
from such attacks;
(11) the United States should fully support the
Comprehensive Peace Agreement for Sudan and urge rapid
implementation of its terms; and
(12) the Sudan People's Liberation Movement should seek to
play a constructive role in bringing about a political
settlement to the crisis in the Darfur region.
