Washington, D.C. — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) released a statement following the Senate’s unanimous passage of H.R. 7108, which will permanently extend the sanction authorities created by the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act beyond their December 2022 expiration date. Rubio was an original cosponsor of the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act, which was enacted into law in 2016. The law provides the President of the United States with the authority to leverage economic sanctions against any party responsible for “gross violations of internationally recognized human rights” against human rights defenders or individuals exposing government corruption.
“Global Magnitsky sanctions have been an invaluable tool used by our government to protect the vulnerable and punish bad actors who pose a threat to global peace and security,” Rubio said. “This carefully crafted and bipartisan law empowered two different administrations to hold human rights violators accountable, and future administrations will now be able to do the same thanks to today’s actions.”
Rubio is a senior member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and Ranking Member of the Subcommittee responsible for human rights issues.
