Submission Template with Sample Text For Targeted Human Rights & Anti-Corruption Sanctions Recommendations to the United States Government

Human Rights First created this template as a guide for civil society organizations interested in submitting evidence-based sanctions recommendations to the U.S. Departments of State and Treasury pursuant to the Global Magnitsky Act of 2016 as implemented by Executive Order 13818, and to the Department of State pursuant to Section 7031(c) of the annual Department of State Appropriations Act.

For general questions regarding Global Magnitsky (GloMag)/EO 13818 sanctions and 7031(c) visa restrictions, please consult Human Rights First’s resources page or contact Amanda Strayer at [email protected].

The template is structured using a dossier framework that all NGOs are advised to follow. It includes advice regarding best practices (in italics) as well as sample language contained within the body of each section. The sample language is intended as a guide for tone and structure and is not applicable to all cases.
