Mr. Speaker. our consideration today of the Dartur Peace and Accountability Act is long overdue. but it is more timely and urgent than ever. It has been nearly two years since this House recognized the atrocities in Dartur as genocide. In that time we have offered aid to refugees and support for peacekeeping activities. However. this is the first real legislative effort to enhance the U.S. response to this crisis. While I am pleased that we are acting. we should and could have done more sooner. H.R. 3127. authorizes tough sanctions against individuals responsible for the war crimes committed in Darfur.
