South Sudan Peace Promotion and Accountability Act of 2015

The South Sudan Peace Promotion and Accountability Act of 2015 is a legislative proposal designed to address the ongoing humanitarian crisis and leadership failures in South Sudan. The bill formally expresses U.S. support for the South Sudanese people and calls for an immediate end to violence through diplomatic reconciliation.

If enacted, the bill would require existing sanctions against individuals responsible for the conflict to remain in place until the President confirms they are no longer necessary. Additionally, it mandates that the executive branch develop and submit a formal strategy to Congress to guide future U.S. diplomatic and humanitarian engagement with the country. For citizens, this bill represents an effort to ensure U.S. foreign policy remains focused on regional stability and the accountability of foreign leaders involved in human rights abuses.
