The United States Sanctions Sudan Following Chemical Weapons Determination

Today marks a pivotal moment in the global response to atrocity crimes as the United States has formally announced sanctions against the Government of Sudan. This decisive action follows a determination that Sudan employed chemical weapons during 2024 — a blatant violation of international law and human dignity.

The announcement, submitted to Congress and confirmed by U.S. Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce, signals the implementation of punitive measures under the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act of 1991, effective as of April 24, 2025. This move represents a substantial escalation of international pressure on Khartoum and reaffirms Washington’s unwavering stance against the proliferation and use of chemical weapons.

The use of chemical weapons is a grave crime that inflicts indiscriminate suffering and constitutes a serious breach of humanitarian norms. This act of accountability must serve as a clarion call for the international community to uphold justice, protect civilian lives, and prevent future atrocities.
