Sudan Accountability Act

The Sudan Accountability Act requires the U.S. Secretary of State to submit regular reports on human rights violations in Sudan, including detailed assessments of atrocities like sexual violence and attacks on civilians, and U.S. responses to these violations. It mandates biannual determinations on whether actions by Sudanese armed groups constitute genocide, war crimes, or crimes against humanity, with public reports and congressional briefings. The bill also directs the development of a strategy to protect civilians through diplomatic efforts, targeted sanctions, and enhanced humanitarian access, while authorizing U.S. assistance for victim support and accountability mechanisms. These provisions primarily affect U.S. government agencies and aim to strengthen accountability for violence against Sudanese civilians, particularly women and children.
