  • Mr. Bill Browder: the Foundation of Magnitsky Law and the Case of the US
    Symposium on Sanctioning Human Rights Violations: Magnitsky Laws in the World – Lessons Learned1 A Joint Symposium with Human Rights Watch and the University of Tokyo International Law Training and Research Hub Session 1 (12 March 2021, 18:00-21:00) The Symposium was opened by Professor Ai Kihara-Hunt, emphasizing its importance as a the first ever symposium on Magnitsky Laws in Japan. It aims, first, to spread awareness on the Law by sharing lessons learned from the adoption of Magnitsky legislation in other countries, and second, to provide space for discussions on the merits of enacting such legislation in Japan. Ms. Kanae Doi, Japan Director at Human Rights Watch, provided opening remarks by stressing the importance of remembering the legacy of the Magnitsky Act. She highlights that one of the fundamental merits of such legislation is that because it uses targeted sanctions against specific human rights abusers, it is able to avoid the highly political notion of sanctions that tend to affect relations between governments. She also underscored that Japan must implement Magnitsky Laws to be able to respond to human rights violations in Myanmar, Hong Kong, the DRC, and other parts of the world. She notes, “there are human lives being torn apart and people that should be held accountable.” Mr. Bill Browder: The Foundation of Magnitsky Law and the Case of the US Co-founder and CEO of Hermitage Capital Management, Mr. Bill Browder is well-known as a pioneer and primary advocate of Magnitsky legislation. He started the panel presentations by sharing his personal background and how large-scale corruption in Russia, where the investment fund management company he co-founded maintains an office in, has motivated his advocacy for global human rights legislation.

    THE LAW SOCIETY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Our ref: HRC:RHas1812587 3 February 2020 Mr John Cattle Acting Chief Executive Officer Law Council of Australia DX 5719 Canberra By email: [email protected] Dear Mr Cattle, Inquiry into a framework for autonomous sanctions under Australian law to target human rights abuses Thank you for the opportunity to provide input to the Law Council's submission to the Joint Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade inquiry into a framework for autonomous sanctions under Australian law to target human rights abuses ("the Inquiry"). As you may be aware, on 5 August 2019, the Law Society hosted a Thought Leadership panel titled 'A Magnitsky Act for Australia — Human Rights Bombshell or Frankenstein's Monster?' featuring Emeritus Professor Graeme Gill, Senator Kimberley Kitching, Jeremy Moller and Pauline Wright. The Law Society is pleased to be able to continue its contribution to consideration of this important issue in Australia. The Law Society's Human Rights Committee has contributed to this submission, which addresses each of the Inquiry's terms of reference. 1. The framework for autonomous sanctions under Australian law, in particular the Autonomous Sanctions Act 2011 (Cth) and the Autonomous Sanctions Regulations 2011 (Cth) Australia currently applies two types of sanctions. The first of these are United Nations Security Council sanctions, which Australia must impose as a member of the UN. These are primarily implemented through the Charter of the United Nations Act 1945 (Cth) and its regulations. The second type are autonomous sanctions, which are imposed through the Autonomous Sanctions Act 2011 (Cth) ("ASA") and the Autonomous Sanctions Regulations 2011 (Cth) ("AS Regulations").

In this publication, Dentons’ team of leading regulatory lawyers forecasts key trends for 2020. These reflect the digitization of the economy, including the significant role of data, networks and communications infrastructure, as well as unpredictable and disruptive political and economic currents at a global level, which have repercussions for trade and international investment flows affecting Canada. All of these trends are set against a backdrop of growing concerns about climate change, consumer protection and privacy. Wading through the evolving regulatory requirements is challenging. Our team of regulatory lawyers and public affairs advisors is here to assist you to successfully navigate this shifting landscape, relying on our deep experience, strategic insights, and familiarity with the rules and regulators. While Dentons’ national team focuses on Canadian law, our clients also rely upon the Firm’s global network of lawyers to help prepare for the latest regulatory developments around the world.

    U.S. Sanctions on Russia Updated January 17, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R45415 SUMMARY R45415 U.S. Sanctions on Russia January 17, 2020 Sanctions are a central element of U.S. policy to counter and deter malign Russian behavior.

  • Norway and Other Democratic Countries Should Establish Global Magnitsky Mechanisms
    Norway and other democratic countries should establish global Magnitsky mechanisms No. 2-2015 Norway and other democratic countries should establish mechanisms to freeze the assets of persons who commit gross violations of human rights with impunity and prohibit their entry into the country – the victims of these violations being human rights defenders or whistle-blowers. The mechanisms may resemble the current US Magnitsky legislation, however without being limited to Russian citizens. They should include strong safeguards in order to ensure fair treatment. The US Congress is currently debating a Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act, which will broadly function along the same lines as the mechanisms proposed here. Norway should seek to influence other democratic countries to establish similar mechanisms. If a large number of democratic states establish such mechanisms, it would represent an important breakthrough in the fight against impunity for gross human rights violations. Norway aims to promote respect for human rights, rule of law and democracy in its foreign policies. In White Paper 10 (2014-2015), Opportunities for All: Human Rights in Norway’s Foreign Policy and Development Cooperation , the Norwegian government states that it is “concerned by the fact that human rights are coming under increasing pressure worldwide. Human rights are the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world.” (Page 7). 1 The White Paper points out that one of the main challenges is that many states violate rule of law principles, the right to life and the prohibition against torture. It also points to the often-difficult situation of human rights defenders. Along with widespread corruption and tax crimes, these are issues central to the so-called Magnitsky case.
