President George W. Bush Visits USHMM (1 of 3)

On April 18, 2007, President George W. Bush spoke at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum about the importance of Holocaust remembrance and the urgent need for action to end genocide in Darfur. In his remarks, the President stated that if the Sudanese government did not meet the demands of the international community, the United States would pursue several policy options. These included increased U.S. economic sanctions on Sudan, targeted sanctions against individuals responsible for violence in the region, and that the U.S. would propose a United Nations Security Council resolution to apply new sanctions, impose an expanded arms embargo, and prohibit Sudan's government from conducting offensive military flights over Darfur.
