The EU Council has approved a global sanctions regime for human rights violations, Dutch Foreign Minister Stef Block said on Twitter.
"[The adoption of this decision] provides us with an important tool to combat human rights abuses," the minister said.
A European diplomatic source told TASS that the regime will enter into force on Thursday, December 10. It provides for the creation of a global blacklist of persons who will be banned from entering the EU and access to the EU's financial system. "All their assets [if found] in European banks are subject to freezing, EU residents are not allowed to provide these persons with any financial services," the source explained.
According to the agency's source, this mechanism is not extraterritorial action, that is, all restrictions will operate within the EU. Radio Free Europe journalist Rikard Jozwiak was the first to announce the approval of the sanctions regime on Twitter.
The TASS source also noted that the approved regime does not copy the "Magnitsky Act" in force in the United States. However, the head of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said that Brussels is developing a European law by analogy with the American one.
Later, the document on the approved sanctions regime was published by the official EU magazine. It notes that restrictive measures will take effect the next day from the date of publication, that is, from December 8, and will apply to both individuals and legal entities. The list of persons who fell under the sanctions will be given in the annex to the document, now it is empty.
The restrictions will come into effect this week and will be timed to coincide with the 77th anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, The Guardian reported. The sanctions will affect persons involved in all kinds of crimes, from genocide and torture to arbitrary arrest and detention. The newspaper reported with reference to the EU decision that the act "sets a framework for targeted restrictive measures to combat serious violations of human rights around the world."
Now the EU cannot impose a ban on the travel of individuals to the countries of the union, the national governments of the EU member states have this right. The Netherlands offered Brussels to develop its own version of the "Magnitsky Act" in November last year after the adoption of a corresponding resolution in parliament, RBC notes.
Eight members of the Northern Council (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Sweden, Norway, Aland Islands (autonomous territory of Finland), Faroe Islands and Greenland (autonomous territories of Denmark)) insisted on this. They said they would adopt their own version of the Magnitsky Act if the EU did not. And Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, as well as the UK have already adopted similar laws.
In December 2019, the EU began work on the sanctions mechanism. Then the representatives of the Netherlands proposed not to include the name of Magnitsky in the name, so as not to create the impression that the measure was directed against Russia, wrote the EU Observer. The Guardian recalls that the US "Magnitsky Act" has angered the Kremlin. "Vladimir Putin was so enraged by the US law that he banned the adoption of Russian children by Americans," the newspaper writes.
European politicians, speaking of the need to pass a law similar to the Magnitsky Act, prefer to talk about human rights violations in Saudi Arabia, Africa and Asia, but they did not mention Russia.
The "Act of Magnitsky" restriction mechanism is named after the Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, who worked for a large investment fund Hermitage Capital. In 2007, the Russian prosecutor's office suspected Hermitage Capital subsidiaries of tax evasion. After searches in the company, the fund's lawyer Sergei Magnitsky accused the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the prosecutor's office of using the materials they received to steal more than $ 230 million from the state, disguised as a VAT refund.
In response, prosecutors accused Magnitsky of tax evasion. He was arrested and died in the Matrosskaya Tishina SIZO in November 2009 at the age of 37. Before his death, Magnitsky was deprived of medical care and was effectively tortured. His death caused a huge public outcry both in Russia and abroad, and also became the reason for the adoption of the so-called Magnitsky law in different countries.
In 2016, the US Congress unanimously passed a bill to extend the Magnitsky Act to all countries of the world, not just Russia. The law empowers the US president to update the list of foreign citizens who, according to him, are guilty of corruption and human rights violations. Canada, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and the United Kingdom have also adopted similar legal acts.
International financier, founder of Hermitage Capital William Browder is considered the main initiator of the adoption of this law. Russia viewed the "Magnitsky Act" as interference in its internal affairs. The Russian Foreign Ministry called the document unfriendly and provocative.
