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.

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

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