Kosovo to Pass Magnitsky Sanctions

Kosovo plans to pass the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act to introduce sanctions against human rights violators, Kosovo’s deputy prime minister said in a Jan. 23 tweet. The measure would impose asset freezes and travel bans on any person or entity sanctioned under the regime. The United Kingdom has said it plans to impose similar sanctions after Brexit (see 2001100046), and Canada has announced plans to build on its human rights sanctions regime (see 1912180034).
