Ending Impunity for Violators of Human Rights – The Magnitsky Acts: Magnitsky Act and Accountability: Case Studies in Targeted Sanctions- Webinar Recording

This webinar is the second in a series to introduce participants to the Magnitsky Acts, and their potential to end the impunity of those responsible for committing human rights violations, to deter violators, to offer a sense of justice to victims and their families, and to be a tool for campaigners.

This webinar with Phil Robertson (Director of the Asia Human Rights and Labour Advocates (AHRLA)), Elizabeth Wood (CEO of Capital Punishment Justice Project) and Anton Moiseienko (Senior Lecturer and Research Director at the Australian National University in the Faculty of Law) focused on cases where Magnitsky legislation in different jurisdictions has been used to target individuals implicated in human rights abuses and corruption, with a special emphasis on examples from Asia. It highlighted the potential of using Magnitsky legislation in human rights advocacy strategies to seek justice and accountability across borders, detailing the real-world impacts of sanctions on perpetrators.
