Civil Society Letter: United States Must Reverse the Declining Use of Global Magnitsky Sanctions

Heartland along with 95 leading human rights and anticorruption nongovernmental organizations called on the U.S. Department of Treasury and the State Department to reverse the declining use of Global Magnitsky sanctions and act on dozens of outstanding civil society recommendations.

In these final months of the Biden administration, we urge you to take immediate steps to prioritize acting on civil society’s calls for Global Magnitsky sanctions. While we understand the targeting process takes time, we know many recommendations have been considered for months or more. Our coalition remains ready to discuss these cases with your teams and ways to further strengthen this invaluable sanctions program.
