This report discusses the Global Magnitsky Act as it was implemented in the United States (US), and provides comparative information about foreign laws that operate in a similar manner. Individual country reports, when applicable, are also included after the comparative section. These countries include Australia, Canada, Estonia, the European Union, Gibraltar, Jersey, Latvia, Lithuania, and the United Kingdom. The report begins with an explanation of the Global Magnitsky Act in the United States and its implementation, via statute and executive order, into the U.S. legal framework. It provides an overview of the criteria that must be satisfied for sanctions under the Global Magnitsky Act. The analysis then compares how the included foreign jurisdictions have implemented their versions of the legislation. Individual country surveys include an introduction and overview of their specific Global Magnitsky laws. In general, the same criteria used in the United States are also used in the selected jurisdictions, however, in some instances, other jurisdictions go beyond the scope covered by U.S. law. The individual surveys also generally cover the administration of the act by the domestic government. The surveys include national government resources and secondary sources when available.
