Ben Cardin: “Unless we hold people accountable and make sure that there can be no peace without accountability, it will happen again.”

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.

If Putin hates this so much, we're sure that there are a lot of other dictators who would hate this as well.

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.
