對於人權的尊重是將美國、台灣和其他國際民主大家庭連結在一起的 #共享價值。今天早上，美國國務院及美國財政部的政府專家與台灣立法院人權促進會，共同討論美國如何利用《全球馬格尼茨基人權問責法》捍衛人權、打擊貪腐，並在全球促進問責制和良善治理。美國國會於2016年12月通過此法，讓美國政府能夠針對全球各地嚴重侵犯人權或從事貪腐的人實施制裁和簽證限制。歐盟、英國和加拿大也陸續制定相關法令。藉由與志同道合的國際夥伴攜手合作，我們將確保我們的司法管轄權境內不會成為貪腐人士和人權侵害者的避風港。#humanrights
Respect for human rights is one of the #sharedvalues that bind the United States and Taiwan with the international family of democracies. This morning, U.S. government experts from the State Department and Treasury Department shared their experience with the Taiwan Parliamentary Human Rights Commission on how the United States has used the Magnitsky Act to defend human rights, combat corruption, and promote accountability and good governance around the world. The United States Congress passed the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act in December 2016 to allow the U.S. government to impose sanctions designations and visa restrictions on persons who committed serious human rights abuse or engaged in corruption across the globe. Other countries have since enacted similar laws, including the European Union, the UK, and Canada. Together with our international partners who share these values, we will ensure that corrupt actors and human rights abusers will have no refuge within our jurisdictions.
