Ben Cardin: “This bill takes action to deal with the underlying problem of global climate change by setting targets for us to meet.”

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.

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

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

We need to consider how we deal with that.
