Ben Cardin: “I share Senator Markey's concerns that in practice we do not see the ethnic reprisals that we have seen happen so often…”

If we are going to carry this as a value on the international stage, that the United States stands up for human rights and certain values and the rule of law, is it not important that we be willing to apply these sanctions to accomplish…

There is no reason why somebody should be sanctioned in America and not in Europe or not in the U.K.

We imposed sanctions on the individual.

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