US Sanctions for Violating LGBTI Human Rights Abroad.
This Act mandates sanctions against foreign persons and officials responsible for severe human rights violations, such as torture or arbitrary arrest, against LGBTI individuals globally. Placement on this list results in an immediate ban on entering the United States and the revocation of existing visas. The goal is to increase accountability for violence motivated by sexual orientation or gender identity and strengthen US human rights policy.
Key points
Creation and regular publication of a list of foreign persons (including government officials) deemed responsible for serious human rights abuses against LGBTI individuals.
Individuals placed on the list are banned from receiving visas and entering the US; their current visas will be revoked as a direct consequence of their actions.
Requirement for the US State Department to monitor and report in detail on violence and discrimination against LGBTI individuals in global human rights reports.
