Ben Cardin: “North Korea is critically important to our policies in Asia and our global policy.”

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.

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

We are going to do something about this.

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