Introduce and support legislation to address the conflict in Sudan by expanding discretionary sanctions, bolstering diplomatic resources, and building a stronger international coalition for peace.
Occurrences
Evidence
Coons's office says Senators Coons, Risch, Shaheen, and Cornyn introduced the PEACE in Sudan Act of 2026 to expand discretionary sanctions, bolster diplomatic resources, and build an international coalition.
The bill text identifies the measure as the PEACE in Sudan Act of 2026 and lists Risch introducing it for himself, Coons, Cornyn, and Shaheen; its contents include sanctions, a Sudan special envoy, and U.N. engagement on Sudan.
Assessments
Coons materially fulfilled the promise during his current federal Senate term by being an original cosponsor/supporter of the PEACE in Sudan Act of 2026, which directly matches the pledged actions: expanded discretionary sanctions, strengthened diplomatic resources including a Sudan envoy, and international coalition-building through U.N. engagement. The promise was to introduce and support legislation, not necessarily secure enactment.
