Ben Cardin: “The tool of the Trafficking in Persons Report is maintained as the gold standard”

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

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…

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