Global Anti-Corruption Sanctions Regime Foreign Secretary’s statement to Parliament, April 2021
Madame Deputy Speaker, with your permission, I would like to make a statement on our new Global Anti-Corruption Sanctions Regulations.
Corruption has an immensely corrosive effect on the rule of law, on trust in institutions.
It slows development, it drains the wealth of poorer nations. It keeps their people trapped in poverty.
It poisons the well of democracy around the world.
Whistleblowers and those who seek to expose corruption are targeted.
Some have paid the ultimate price with their lives, including of course Sergei Magnitsky himself – the inspiration for our Human Rights Sanctions regime.
