Global Corruption Fight: Ranking Countries and Sanctioning Corrupt Officials.
This law establishes a system to evaluate and rank foreign nations based on their efforts to combat corruption. Countries failing to meet minimum standards will face the lowest ranking, potentially leading to sanctions against their corrupt officials and entities. The goal is to use diplomatic and financial tools to promote integrity and protect US interests globally.
Key points
The US State Department will annually publish a tiered list classifying countries based on their commitment to fighting corruption.
Individuals and entities involved in significant corruption in the lowest-ranked countries (Tier 3) may face financial and visa sanctions under the Global Magnitsky Act.
US embassies in high-risk countries (Tier 2 and 3) must designate anti-corruption points of contact to coordinate efforts and promote good governance.
