Key Points

This resolution officially speaks out against the three-year civil war in Sudan. It highlights that the fighting has killed over 400,000 people and forced 14 million people to leave their homes.
The proposal labels the violence against certain groups in the Darfur region as genocide. It calls for an immediate end to attacks on regular people, schools, and hospitals.
It asks other countries to stop sending weapons and supplies to the two main groups fighting for power. The goal is to stop the flow of resources that keeps the war going.
The resolution urges the Trump administration to take a lead role in making peace. It wants the U.S. to help Sudan return to a government run by citizens instead of the military.
It also supports local groups in Sudan that are providing food and medicine. It asks for aid workers to have safe access to help the 34 million people who need life-saving care.
