Ben Cardin: “I thank you for holding this hearing to allow us all to reflect once again on how fortunate we were to serve in the U.S.…”

It was originally a piece of legislation targeting the people who killed Sergei Magnitsky.

I introduced the Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act as a way of saying that we will hold abusers accountable even if their own country does not.

We need to consider how we deal with that.

Thank you very much for holding this hearing on the implementation of Global Magnitsky sanctions.
