Dear Secretary Blinken, We, the undersigned organizations, write with deep concern about the ongoing and increasing atrocities in Sudan, including war crimes, crimes against humanity, and potentially genocide. We urge the United States to issue an atrocity determination for Sudan and take concrete actions to protect civilians and prevent further atrocities in line with the Elie Wiesel Genocide and Atrocities Prevention Act, the U.S. Strategy to Anticipate, Prevent, and Respond to Atrocities, the recently released U.S. Strategy and Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security, and other U.S. prevention-oriented laws and policies.
