Mr. Speaker. I rise today in strong support of the Darfur Peace and Accountability Act. H.R. 3127. This important bill would block the assets and deny visas and entry to any individual (and family member) responsible for acts of genocide. war crimes. or crimes against humanity in Sudan. H.R. 3127 authorizes support for the African Union peacekeeping mission in Darfur. It prohibits U.S. assistance to a country in violation of U.N. Security Council embargo on military assistance to Sudan. It also urges a Security Council resolution supporting expanding the African Union peacekeeping mission. For too long the world community turned its back to the ongoing genocide in the Sudan.
