the United States has designated 101

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

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:
Financial Sanctions Imposed
1. Felix Ramon Bautista Rosario:
Bautista was designated on June 12,
2018, for engaging in corrupt acts,
including in relation to reconstruction
efforts in Haiti. Bautista is a Senator
