Sudanese Sanctions
Since international recognition of the violence in Sudan in 2004, little has been done to remedy the situation. Some pressure has been applied on the Sudanese government, including using a special envoy by the United States and issuing the Darfur Peace and Accountability Act. Also, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Sudanese President Oman Hassan al-Bashir, but the Sudanese government rejects the indictment and al-Bashir is not expected to face trial anytime soon.
