Addressing impunity through EU sanctions, including the EU Global Human Rights sanctions regime (so called “EU Magnitsky Act”)
This own-initiative dossier addresses impunity through EU sanctions, including the EU Global Human Rights Sanctions Regime (the 'EU Magnitsky Act'). The amendments note the regime provides for asset freezes and visa bans on individuals and entities responsible for human rights violations, cite listings concentrated geographically, call for broader coverage and inclusion of transnational repression, and raise Parliament's limited role and the confidentiality of listing decisions.

Plenary votes
1 roll-call votesIn plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
