On 6 July 2020, British Foreign Minister Dominic Raab introduced Magnitsky’s long-awaited sanctions regime, the 2020 Global Regulation on Sanctions of Rights, “to deter and account for activities that, if carried out through a state in that state’s territory, would amount to a serious violation through that state of the right to life of an individual. , not being subjected to torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading therapy or punishment, not subjected to slavery, not being held in bondage or required to perform forced or compulsory labour. The regulation follows the “Magnitsky Amendment” of the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2018. This amendment gave the UK government new powers to impose sanctions on those who give a big hug. rights violations. The regulation must now be approved by the resolution of any of the chambers within 28 days, from the day on which it is established.
In the presentation of the burning sanctions regime, the UK Foreign Minister said he would appoint foreign nationals to deal with visa bans and asset freezes for alleged violations of huguy rights, and opposed the culprits of the murder of Sergei Magnitsky and Jamal Khashoggi. Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian tax adviser, discovered large-scale tax evasion involving Russian officials. In 2008, Magnitsky was seized in Russia and beyond sleep died in the scam of his bad therapy there. Jamal Khashoggi was a Saudi journalist who covered huguy rights violations through the Saudi government. I undone the lok after entering the consube beyond Saudi Arabia in Istanbul, Turkey, to recover their divorce papers. After a foreign protest, Saudi officials showed that Jamal Khashoggi was killed.
The designations also come with which they perpetrated systematic and brutal violence against the Rohingya in Myanmar. “They also come with two organizations guilty of slavery, torture and murder taking up position in North Korea’s miserable gulags, where thousands of prisoners are estimated to have perished over the past 50 years.”
While this is a first step forward, some MPs have raised the difficulty that corruption is not included in regulations. As MEP Lisa Nandy noted, “corruption and human rights violations go hand in hand.” What does corruption have to do with huguy rights violations? As the UN says: “Corruption is the engine of huguy rights violations and hinders the effective implementation of huguy rights obligations. It is also closely related to the maintenance and proliferation of violent and discriminatory social orders that revel in a disproportionate influence on the marginalized other Americans or in conditions of vulnerability or precariousness Corruption in all its forms, whether embezzlement, influence trafficking, illicit enrichment, coin laundering, concealment, obstruction of justice, bribery or abuse of power , can create favourable conditions and therefore facilitate violations of huguy rights.
Others, such as MS. Tom Tugendhat, while praising the regulations, condemned the British government’s silence on sanctions against China. Indeed, only last week did British MPs debate china’s terrible scenario of huguy rights and evidence that China prevents births among the persecuted communities of the Uighur Munarrow, among other atrocities.
The UK’s preference to be applauded for its strong position that perpetrators of huguy rights violations will not enjoy impunity but will suffer consequences. Like Bill Browder, the force of the initiative that saw Magnitsky’s legislation enacted around the world, he said: “This is a key step in Magnitsky’s justice campaign. The UK is a prime position for dictators and kleptocrats to reorder their coins and acquire a property. By denying them access, he sends them a blunt message that harms them. The key now lies in a physically powerful and normal implementation through the British government.
