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 our goals with countries that are our partners and not only our adversaries?

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

we are going to do something about this.

You have found the Achilles hill of the Putin regime. They rape, torture and kill with impunity and keep their ill-gotten gains in the West.

we need to consider how we deal with that.

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

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

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

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

We imposed sanctions on the individual.
