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.

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

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