This bill authorizes the President to impose sanctions on any foreign person who violates or knowingly undermines the Washington Accords , a June 2025 Peace Agreement between the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Rwanda. These Accords require both nations to respect sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to cease hostile acts. The legislation asserts that the conflict in eastern DRC threatens regional peace and U.S. strategic interests. The bill highlights that Rwandan forces support the M23 movement, while DRC forces support the FDLR, both groups accused of war crimes and human rights abuses. The United States policy is to use sanctions to uphold the Washington Accords and resolve the conflict involving the DRC, M23, and Rwanda. Sanctions include asset blocking for foreign persons within U.S. jurisdiction and rendering them inadmissible for U.S. visas or entry, with existing visas subject to revocation. The President is authorized to establish a program to implement these measures. Exceptions are made for international obligations, the provision of humanitarian assistance , and U.S. intelligence, law enforcement, or national security activities. The authority to impose these sanctions will terminate seven years after the bill's enactment.
