Global Magnitsky Human Rights 

Accountability Act Annual Report 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice contains the text 

of the report required by the Global 

Magnitsky Human Rights 

Accountability Act, as submitted by the 

Secretary of State pursuant to Executive 

Order 13818. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Benjamin A. Kraut, Email: Krautb@state 

gov, Phone: (202) 647–9452. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

December 10, 2018, the Secretary of 

State approved the following report 

pursuant to Executive Order 13818 (E.O. 

13818). E.O. 13818, which builds on 

and implements the Global Magnitsky 

Human Rights Accountability Act (Pub. 

L. 114–328, Title XII, Subtitle F), was 

issued by the President on December 20, 

2017, with an effective date of December 

21, 2017. The text of the report follows: 

As required by Section 1264 of the 

Global Magnitsky Human Rights 

Accountability Act of 2016 (Pub. L. 

114–328, Title XII, Subtitle F) (the 

‘‘Act’’), and in accordance with E.O. 

13818, issued to implement the Act, the 

Secretary of State, in consultation with 

the Secretary of the Treasury, submits 

this report to detail the Administration’s 

implementation of the Act in 2018. 

In 2018, the United States took 

significant action under the Global 

Magnitsky sanctions program (Global 

Magnitsky). As of December 10, 2018, 

the United States has designated 101 

foreign persons (individuals and 

entities) under E.O. 13818. This 

sanctions program, which targets human 

rights abusers, corrupt actors, and their 

enablers, represents the best of the 

United States’ values by taking 

impactful steps to protect and promote 

human rights and combat corruption 

around the world. Through the Act and 

E.O. 13818, the United States has sought 

to disrupt and deter serious human 

rights abuse and corruption abroad; 

promote accountability for those who 

act with impunity; and protect, 

promote, and enforce longstanding 

international norms alongside our 

partners and allies. 

As the President outlined in his 

National Security Strategy (NSS), 

liberty, free enterprise, equal justice 

under the law, and the dignity of every 

human life are values that represent 

who we are as a people. Further, the 

NSS states that we support with our 

words and actions those who live under 

oppressive regimes and seek freedom, 

individual dignity, and the rule of law. 

Through Global Magnitsky, the 

Administration is taking action to 

execute the President’s vision as 

described in the NSS. 

Actions taken in 2018 demonstrated 

the reach, flexibility, and broad scope of 

Global Magnitsky. The United States 

responded to an evolving crisis in 

Nicaragua, promoted accountability for 

serious human rights abuse constituting 

ethnic cleansing in Burma, addressed 

serious human rights abuse and 

corruption in the Democratic Republic 

of Congo, the Dominican Republic, 

Turkey, Cambodia, and Saudi Arabia, 

and clearly demonstrated the resolve of 

the Administration to leverage this 

important tool, when appropriate, to 

target individuals and entities engaging 

in specified conduct. 

When considering financial sanctions 

under Global Magnitsky, the United 

States prioritizes actions that are 

expected to produce a tangible and 

significant impact on the sanctioned 

persons and their affiliates, so as to 

prompt changes in behavior or disrupt 

the activities of malign actors. Persons 

sanctioned pursuant to this authority 

appear on the Office of Foreign Assets 

Control’s (OFAC) List of Specially 

Designated Nationals and Blocked 

Persons (SDN List). As a result of these 

actions, any property or interests in 

property of the sanctioned persons 

within or transiting U.S. jurisdiction is 

blocked. Additionally, U.S. persons are 

generally prohibited from engaging in 

transactions with blocked persons, 

including entities 50 percent or more 

owned by designated persons. The 

Secretary of the Treasury, in 

consultation with the Secretary of State 

and the Attorney General, imposed 

financial sanctions on the following 

persons pursuant to Global Magnitsky:
