International Freedom Protection Act: Combating Authoritarianism, Kleptocracy, and Repression.
This Act strengthens US efforts against global authoritarianism, corruption, and transnational repression by foreign governments. It mandates new tools, including targeted sanctions and visa restrictions, against corrupt officials and human rights abusers to protect US citizens and activists abroad. The legislation aims to enhance global stability and promote democratic values while restricting aid to governments established by coups.
Key points
Imposing sanctions and visa bans on foreign officials involved in significant corruption or gross violations of human rights.
Enhanced protection and support for US citizens and activists abroad targeted by foreign government surveillance or harassment (transnational repression).
Restricting financial and military assistance to governments that seize power through military coups, with exceptions for humanitarian and democracy aid.
Establishing rewards for information leading to the recovery of assets stolen through foreign government corruption (kleptocracy).
