Ben Cardin: “What steps have you taken to protect those who may have suffered from the delay in getting the website working?”

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

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

Why do we not widen this piece of legislation out so it includes all human rights abusers in Russia?

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.
