Introduced and handed to a committee in the chamber it started in.

These individuals are linked to findings of human rights violations and war crimes. The Act evaluates these persons under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act and the National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act.
