Summary
What This Bill Does
This House Resolution calls on the U.S. government to hold the "Quad" nations (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates) accountable for their commitment to end external military support to warring parties in Sudan. It specifically names the UAE as responsible for alleged arms transfers that are prolonging the conflict.
Who Benefits and How
Sudanese civilians suffering from the conflict stand to benefit if this resolution leads to reduced weapons flowing to the warring parties. Humanitarian organizations operating in Sudan would benefit from any de-escalation of violence. Pro-democracy advocates in Sudan who seek an end to the military conflict would be supported by increased international pressure on arms suppliers.
Who Bears the Burden and How
The United Arab Emirates faces diplomatic and reputational pressure from being publicly named by Congress for alleged violations of its arms embargo commitment. The U.S. State Department faces implicit expectations to use existing sanctions authority under Executive Order 14098 against foreign entities destabilizing Sudan. Defense contractors that export military equipment to UAE could face scrutiny or restrictions if enforcement action follows.
Key Provisions
- Expresses the "sense of the House" that the U.S. should hold Quad states accountable for ending military support to Sudan
- Specifically calls out the UAE as the nation violating its commitment
- References the humanitarian crisis: 40,000+ killed, 12 million displaced, 47 million facing acute hunger since April 2023
- Cites evidence of Chinese-manufactured weapons (found by Amnesty International) that only UAE has imported
- Invokes existing sanctions authority under Executive Order 14098
