S. 3199 would require the President to impose sanctions on foreign persons the Administration determines have taken the following actions in Ethiopia:
Undermined efforts to end the civil conflict,
Obstructed humanitarian assistance, or
Profited from business activity related to the conflict, electoral fraud, abuses of human rights, or public corruption.
The bill would suspend certain U.S. foreign assistance to Ethiopia. It also would authorize the Administration to assist entities that promote peace and reconciliation in Ethiopia as well as those that investigate and seek accountability for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and abuses of human rights in that country. Lastly, the bill would require the Administration to develop and implement strategies to promote democracy, reconciliation, and the rule of law in Ethiopia and to report to the Congress on its actions under the bill and on other related matters.
