By enforcing the arms embargo, we are violating international law. We must give the people the right to defend themselves.

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