However, interest in ending the killing in the Darfur region of Sudan
is bipartisan. In 2006, Congress passed the Darfur Peace and Accountability Act,
sponsored by then-Rep. Henry J. Hyde (R-IL). The law contained several
sanctions on Sudan, including a ban on ships involved in Sudan's oil trade docking at U.S. ports of entry. An initial
version of the bill passed the House
by a vote of 416-3, and the final version passed the House by voice vote and
the Senate by unanimous consent and was signed by the
president on October 13, 2006.
