Summary

Calls upon: (1) all companies operating in Sudan to freeze oil production in Sudan and cease oil exports from Sudan until a peace agreement is reached in Sudan and other specified conditions are met; (2) the international community to boycott oil from Sudan and the foreign companies involved in the production and export of Sudanese oil; (3) companies contemplating entrance into Sudan's oil sector not to do so until a just peace is secured; and (4) U.S. companies and individuals who may have indirectly invested in companies involved in oil development in Sudan to divest their holdings.
