​Targeted Sanctions on Human Rights Abusers and Kleptocracies

Lessons Learned and Opportunities from the Global Magnitsky Sanctions
Thursday, December 13, 2018 9:00 am - 10:30 am
CSIS Headquarters

Please join the Human Rights Initiative for reflections from U.S. Senator Ben Cardin (D-MD), the author of the Global Magnitsky Act. He will be followed by a panel examining the impact of the Global Magnitsky sanctions, opportunities to improve implementation, and how the sanctions fit within financial sector approaches to human rights and corruption. These sanctions enable targeted designations based on human rights abuse and corruption around the world, and have been imposed on officials and companies in a number of recent high profile situations, including Myanmar, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Nicaragua.

Keynote Speaker
U.S. Senator Ben Cardin (D-MD)
 

Panel
Robert Berschinski
Senior Vice President Policy at Human Rights First

Robert Peri
Director of US Sanctions at Citibank

Joshua White
Director of Policy and Analysis at The Sentry

Andrea Prasow
Deputy Washington Director, Human Rights Watch

This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
