Sudan Peace Act

    (Engrossed in House )
    107th CONGRESS
    1st Session
    H. R. 2052
    AN ACT
    To facilitate famine relief efforts and a comprehensive solution to the war in Sudan.
    HR 2052 EH
    107th CONGRESS
    1st Session
    H. R. 2052

    AN ACT
    To facilitate famine relief efforts and a comprehensive solution to the war in Sudan.
    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
    SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
    This Act may be cited as the `Sudan Peace Act'.
    SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
    The Congress makes the following findings:
    (1) The Government of Sudan has intensified its prosecution of the war against areas outside of its control, which has already cost more than 2,000,000 lives and has displaced more than 4,000,000 people.
    (2) A viable, comprehensive, and internationally sponsored peace process, protected from manipulation, presents the best chance for a permanent resolution of the war, protection of human rights, and a self-sustaining Sudan.
    (3) Continued strengthening and reform of humanitarian relief operations in Sudan is an essential element in the effort to bring an end to the war.
    (4) Continued leadership by the United States is critical.
    (5) Regardless of the future political status of the areas of Sudan outside of the control of the Government of Sudan, the absence of credible civil authority and institutions is a major impediment to achieving self-sustenance by the Sudanese people and to meaningful progress toward a viable peace process.
    (6) Through the manipulation of traditional rivalries among peoples in areas outside of its full control, the Government of Sudan has used divide-and-conquer techniques effectively to subjugate its population. However, internationally sponsored reconciliation efforts have played a critical role in reducing human suffering and the effectiveness of this tactic.
    (7) The Government of Sudan utilizes and organizes militias, Popular Defense Forces, and other irregular units for raiding and enslaving parties in areas outside of the control of the Government of Sudan in an effort to disrupt severely the ability of the populations in those areas to sustain themselves. The tactic helps minimize the Government of Sudan's accountability internationally.
    ( The Government of Sudan has repeatedly stated that it intends to use the expected proceeds from future oil sales to increase the tempo and lethality of the war against the areas outside of its control.
    (9) By regularly banning air transport relief flights by the United Nations relief operation, Operation Lifeline Sudan (OLS), the Government of Sudan has been able to manipulate the receipt of food aid by the Sudanese people from the United States and other donor countries as a devastating weapon of war in the ongoing effort by the Government of Sudan to starve targeted groups and subdue areas of Sudan outside of the Government's control.
    (10) The acts of the Government of Sudan, including the acts described in this section, constitute genocide as defined by the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (78 U.N.T.S. 277).
    (11) The efforts of the United States and other donors in delivering relief and assistance through means outside of OLS have played a critical role in addressing the deficiencies in OLS and offset the Government of Sudan's manipulation of food donations to advantage in the civil war in Sudan.
    (12) While the immediate needs of selected areas in Sudan facing starvation have been addressed in the near term, the population in areas of Sudan outside of the control of the Government of Sudan are still in danger of extreme disruption of their ability to sustain themselves.
    (13) The Nuba Mountains and many areas in Bahr al Ghazal and the Upper Nile and the Blue Nile regions have been excluded completely from relief distribution by OLS, consequently placing their populations at increased risk of famine.
    (14) At a cost which has sometimes exceeded $1,000,000 per day, and with a primary focus on providing only for the immediate food needs of the recipients, the current international relief operations are neither sustainable nor desirable in the long term.
    (15) The ability of populations to defend themselves against attack in areas outside of the control of the Government of Sudan has been severely compromised by the disengagement of the front-line states of Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Uganda, fostering the belief among officials of the Government of Sudan that success on the battlefield can be achieved.
    (16) The United States should use all means of pressure available to facilitate a comprehensive solution to the war in Sudan, including--
    (A) the multilateralization of economic and diplomatic tools to compel the Government of Sudan to enter into a good faith peace process;
    (B) the support or creation of viable democratic civil authority and institutions in areas of Sudan outside of government control;
    (C) continued active support of people-to-people reconciliation mechanisms and efforts in areas outside of government control;
    (D) the strengthening of the mechanisms to provide humanitarian relief to those areas; and
    (E) cooperation among the trading partners of the United States and within multilateral institutions toward those ends.
    SEC. 3. DEFINITIONS.
    In this Act:
    (1) APPROPRIATE CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES- The term `appropriate congressional committees' means the Committee on International Relations of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate.
    (2) GOVERNMENT OF SUDAN- The term `Government of Sudan' means the National Islamic Front government in Khartoum, Sudan.
    (3) OLS- The term `OLS' means the United Nations relief operation carried out by UNICEF, the World Food Program, and participating relief organizations known as `Operation Lifeline Sudan'.
    SEC. 4. CONDEMNATION OF SLAVERY, OTHER HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES, AND TACTICS OF THE GOVERNMENT OF SUDAN.
    The Congress hereby--
    (1) condemns--
    (A) violations of human rights on all sides of the conflict in Sudan;
    (B) the Government of Sudan's overall human rights record, with regard to both the prosecution of the war and the denial of basic human and political rights to all Sudanese;
    (C) the ongoing slave trade in Sudan and the role of the Government of Sudan in abetting and tolerating the practice;
    (D) the Government of Sudan's use and organization of `murahalliin' or `mujahadeen', Popular Defense Forces (PDF), and regular Sudanese Army units into organized and coordinated raiding and slaving parties in Bahr al Ghazal, the Nuba Mountains, and the Upper Nile and the Blue Nile regions; and
    (E) aerial bombardment of civilian targets that is sponsored by the Government of Sudan; and
    (2) recognizes that, along with selective bans on air transport relief flights by the Government of Sudan, the use of raiding and slaving parties is a tool for creating food shortages and is used as a systematic means to destroy the societies, culture, and economies of the Dinka, Nuer, and Nuba peoples in a policy of low-intensity ethnic cleansing.
    SEC. 5. USE OF APPROPRIATED FUNDS.
    The Congress urges the President to promptly make available to the National Democratic Alliance the $10,000,000 in funds appropriated for assistance to such group under the heading `OTHER BILATERAL ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE, ECONOMIC SUPPORT FUND' in title I of H.R. 5526 of the 106th Congress, as enacted into law by section 101(a) of Public Law 106-429.
    SEC. 6. SUPPORT FOR AN INTERNATIONALLY SANCTIONED PEACE PROCESS.
    (a) FINDINGS- The Congress hereby recognizes that--
    (1) a single viable, internationally and regionally sanctioned peace process holds the greatest opportunity to promote a negotiated, peaceful settlement to the war in Sudan; and

    (b) UNITED STATES DIPLOMATIC SUPPORT- The Secretary of State is authorized to utilize the personnel of the Department of State for the support of--
    (1) the ongoing negotiations between the Government of Sudan and opposition forces;
    (2) any necessary peace settlement planning or implementation; and
    (3) other United States diplomatic efforts supporting a peace process in Sudan.
    SEC. 7. MULTILATERAL PRESSURE ON COMBATANTS.
    It is the sense of the Congress that--
    (1) the United Nations should be used as a tool to facilitate peace and recovery in Sudan; and
    (2) the President, acting through the United States Permanent Representative to the United Nations, should seek to--
    (A) revise the terms of OLS to end the veto power of the Government of Sudan over the plans by OLS for air transport relief flights and, by doing so, to end the manipulation of the delivery of relief supplies to the advantage of the Government of Sudan on the battlefield;
    (B) investigate the practice of slavery in Sudan and provide mechanisms for its elimination; and
    (C) sponsor a condemnation of the Government of Sudan each time it subjects civilians to aerial bombardment.

    (a) DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS- No entity that is engaged in any commercial activity in Sudan may trade any of its securities (or depository receipts with respect to its securities) in any capital market in the United States unless that entity has disclosed, in such form as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall prescribe--

    (2) the identity of all agencies of the Sudanese Government with which the entity is doing business;
    (3) the relationship of the commercial activity to any violations of religious freedom and other human rights in Sudan; and

    (c) ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY- The President may exercise the authorities he has under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to assist the Securities and Exchange Commission in carrying out this section.

    (1) from raising capital in the United States; or
    (2) from trading its securities (or depository receipts with respect to its securities) in any capital market in the United States.
    (b) DEFINITION- For purposes of this section, an entity is `engaged in the development of oil or gas in Sudan' if that entity is directly engaged in the exploration, production, transportation (by pipeline or otherwise), or refining of petroleum, natural gas, or petroleum products in Sudan.

Re: Sudan Peace Act (Re: sentimental)

    Looks like the issue date needs to be checked, if this is the Peace Act the US President passed few days ago.

Re: Sudan Peace Act (Re: Ahlalawad)

    في ما يلي نص قانون سلام السودان الذي أجازه الكونغرس الأميركي ووقع عليه امس الرئيس الأميركي جورج بوش ليصبح قانونا ساري المفعول:

    خلفية

    * اودع مشروع القانون للمناقشة مساء الاثنين 7/10/2002 وتمت اجازته في مجلس النواب بأغلبية 359 صوتاً في مقابل ثمانية اصوات ضده. ومن ثم اودع في مجلس الشيوخ حيث اجيز فيه بالاجماع مساء الخميس 10/10/2002 والقانون جاهز الآن لتوقيع الرئيس الأميركي ليصبح نافذاًُ.
    * الهدف المعلن لمشروع القانون هو تسهيل جهود الاغاثة والحل الشامل لمشكلة الحرب في جنوب السودان.
    * الباب الأول: يسمى هذا القانون (قانون سلام السودان Sudan Peace Act)
    * الباب الثاني: الخلاصات التي توصل اليها الكونغرس:
    1 ـ كثفت الحكومة السودانية من حملتها العسكرية على المناطق التي تقع خارج سيطرته بجنوب السودان الامر الذي كلف حتى الآن ازهاق مليوني روح ونزوح 4 ملايين نسمة.
    2 ـ عملية سلام فعالة قابلة للتطبيق وشاملة برعاية دولية محمية من المناورات والتلاعب تمثل احسن فرصة لاحراز سلام دائم يحمي حقوق الانسان ويمكن السودان من الاعتماد على ذاته.
    3 ـ التقوية والاصلاح المستمر لعمليات العون الانساني عامل اساسي لوضع نهاية للحرب 4 ـ استمرار قيادة الولايات المتحدة لهذه الجهود امر بالغ الاهمية.
    5 ـ بغض النظر عن مستقبل الوضع السياسي للمناطق التي تقع خارج سيطرة الحكومة، فان غياب السلطات والمؤسسات المدنية ذات المصداقية يمثل عائقاً لاحراز تقدم في اعتماد السكان على انفسهم وبالتالي تحقيق تقدم حقيقي نحو سلام ناجع لاعادة تأهيل تلك المناطق بعد الحرب.
    6 ـ توظف الحكومة التنافس التقليدي للأهالي في بعض المناطق، فان الحكومة وباتباع سياسة (فرق تسد) لاخضاع الناس هناك، رغم الجهود الدولية للمصالحة الأهلية والتي لعبت دوراً هاماً في تخفيف المعاناة الانسانية وقللت من فعالية تلك السياسات والتكتيكات.
    7 ـ تستخدم حكومة السودان تنظيم الميليشيات وقوات الدفاع الشعبي ووحدات غير نظامية اخرى للاغارة على واسترقاق مجموعات اخرى في المناطق التي تقع خارج سيطرة الحكومة في مسعى لتدمير قدرات هؤلاء الناس على العيش والاعتماد على الذات.. وهذا التكتيك يحد من مسؤولية الحكومة تجاه تلك الأفعال امام المجتمع الدولي.
    8 ـ اعلنت حكومة السودان مرارا انها تنوي استغلال عائدات النفط المتوقعة لتقوية الآلية العسكرية والقدرات القتالية والأسلحة الفتاكة ضد المناطق التي تقع خارج سيطرتها.
    9 ـ عن طريق الحظر المستمر لرحلات الاغاثة الجوية للأمم المتحدة في عمليات شريان الحياة ، فقد تمكنت الحكومة من التأثير على تدفقات الاغاثة من الدول المانحة كالولايات المتحدة بهدف تجويع وارهاق المواطنين في تلك المناطق التي تقع خارج سيطرة الحكومة.
    10 ـ ان مثل هذه التصرفات تمثل تطهيرا عرقياً كما يعرفها (ميثاق حظر ومعاقبة جرائم التطهير العرقي).
    11 ـ جهود الولايات المتحدة وغيرها من المانحين خارج عمليات شريان الحياة لعبت دوراً هاماً في معالجة الاختناقات في تلك العملية وحيدت جهود الحكومة في التلاعب بها لصالح ميزانها العسكري.
    12 ـ بينما تمت مواجهة الاحتياجات الملحة في مناطق مختارة في السودان على المدى القريب فان سكان المناطق التي تقع خارج سيطرة الحكومة يعانون خطر المجاعة والتجريد من اسباب المعيشة.
    13 ـ سكان جبال النوبة ومناطق كبيرة في بحرالغزال وأعالي النيل والنيل الأزرق تم استبعادها تماماً من توزيع الأغاثة عن طريق برنامج شريان الحياة مما يعرض هؤلاء لخطر متزايد من فقدان الغذاء.
    14 ـ بتكلفة تربو على المليون دولار يومياً بتركيز اساسي على الاحتياجات الضرورية للغذاء فان تنفيذ عمليات الأغاثة غير مستدام ولا مرغوب فيه على المدى الطويل.
    45 ـ ان قدرة السكان في المناطق التي تقع خارج سيطرة الحكومة على الدفاع عن انفسهم ضعفت بشدة بعد ان استبعدت دول مثل اريتريا واثيوبيا ويوغندا عن خط المواجهة العسكرية، معززين بذلك الاعتقاد لدى المسؤولين الحكوميين بامكانية تحقيق نصر عسكري ميداني.
    16ـ على الولايات المتحدة ان تتخذ كافة الوسائل المتاحة للضغط للوصول الى حل شامل للحرب في السودان، بما في ذلك:
    (أ) توسيع اساليب الضغط الاقتصادية والدبلوماسية من كل العالم على حكومة السودان للدخول بعزيمة صادقة في عملية السلام.
    (بدعم ومساندة خلق جهاز مدني فاعل في تلك المناطق.
    (ج) الدعم النشط لآلية المصالحة بين المواطنين في تلك المناطق.
    (د) تقوية آلية تقديم المساعدات الانسانية.
    (هـ) التعاون بين شركاء الولايات المتحدة التجاريين لتحقيق تلك السياسات.
    * الباب الثالث في هذا القانون
    * تعريفات اللجنة المختصة 1 ـ تعني اللجنة المختصة في الكونغرس.
    2 ـ حكومة السودان: تعني حكومة الجبهة الاسلامية القومية في الخرطوم.
    OLS تعني عملية الأمم المتحدة للاغاثةالتي تقوم بها اليونيسيف ـ برنامج OperationlifelineSudan ومنظمات الاغاثة المشاركة ـ المعروفة بعملية شريان الحياة بالسودان.
    * الباب الرابع: ادانة الرق ـ انتهاكات حقوق الانسان والممارسات الاخرى لحكومة السودان.
    بهذا فان الكونغرس يدين:
    أ/ انتهاكات حقوق الانسان من كل اطراف النزاع في السودان.
    ب/ سجل حكومة السودان عموما في مجال حقوق الانسان في ما يتصل بالحرب وتعطيل الحقوق السياسية والانسانية لكل السودانيين.

    د/ استخدام حكومة السودان وتنظيمها لقوات المراحيل والمجاهدين والدفاع الشعبي ووحدات من الجيش النظامي في شكل غارات وفرق استرقاق في بحر الغزال وجبال النوبة وأعالي النيل والنيل الأزرق.
    هـ/ القصف الجوي للأهداف المدنية بواسطة الحكومة.
    يؤكد الكونغرس على الحظر الانتقائي لرحلات الاغاثة الجوية واستعمال سياسة فرق تسد. وحملات الاسترقاق ـ لتستعمل كوسيلة لخلق فجوات غذائية وتستعمل كوسيلة منظمة لتحطيم المجتمع والثقافة والاقتصاد للدينكا والنوير وأهالي النوبة في سياسة تطهير عرقي وبإضعاف الكثافة السكانية للعرق.
    * الباب الخامس
    * دعم السلام والحكم الديمقراطي: العون للسودان أ/ يفوض الرئيس بتقديم مساعدات متزايدة للمناطق غير الخاضعة لسيطرة حكومة السودان وذلك لاعداد السكان للسلام والحكم الديمقراطي بما يتضمن دعم النظام الاداري والمدني ـ الاتصالات ـ والبنيات التحتية والصحة والتعليم والزراعة.

    1- يدرك الكونغرس ان:
    أ/ الفرصة الأكبر للسعي لتسوية سلمية متفاوض عليها لانهاء الحرب بواسطة عملية ناجعة مسنودة دوليا واقليميا.
    ب/ ان الحل الأمثل للصراع يمكن تحقيقه عبر عملية سلمية مؤسسة على اعلان المبادئ بنيروبي 1994 وبروتوكول ماشاكوس 2002.
    2 ـ يثمن الكونغرس جهود المبعوث الأميركي للسلام لمساعدة الاطراف المتحاربة لايجاد سلام عادل ومنصف ودائم للحرب في السودان.
    ب/ الاجراءات المتخذة في حالة عدم الالتزام بالشروط السابقة:
    1 ـ التقرير الرئاسي: على الرئيس ان يقرر ويشهد كتابة امام اللجان المختصة بالكونغرس خلال ستة اشهر من تاريخ نفاذ هذا القانون وكل ستة اشهر لاحقة بأن حكومة السودان والحركة الشعبية يتفاوضان بحسن نيه وعزيمة صادقة، وان المفاوضات مستمرة.
