Benjamin L. Cardin: “This approach not only sees foreign policy as transactional, it also says nations only get what they want by military…”

I thank Senator Cardin for his leadership in championing the Global Magnitsky Act.

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.

If Putin is so mad about this, probably there will be some other dictators that would not like it as well

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