About the PEACE Act:

Deters renewed aggression: Upon a presidential determination that Azerbaijan has engaged in hostile actions against Armenia, the bill mandates sanctions on responsible senior officials, units, enablers, and complicit foreign actors.

Targets financial enablers: Requires restrictions on foreign financial institutions that knowingly facilitate significant transactions for designated Azerbaijani institutions tied to petroleum trade.

Protects humanitarian channels: Preserves transactions for agricultural commodities, food, medicine, and medical devices; maintains exceptions for U.S. intelligence activities and treaty obligations.

Backstops diplomacy: Authorizes additional sanctions on actors who knowingly attempt to delay, frustrate, or thwart a peace agreement consistent with this year’s Joint Declaration.

Ensures oversight: Requires regular presidential reporting to Congress on any hostile actions as well as the effectiveness and status of any sanctions. It also provides for termination criteria and a seven-year sunset.
