We currently have two autonomous pieces of legislation, the Special Economic Measures Act, which has been mentioned before, and the Justice for Victims of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act, known as the Magnitsky law.
These can, in certain circumstances, be used to sanction individuals, entities or even states for actions that we believe, after careful consideration and after taking a look a the entire situation, may fall under the circumstances for sanctions, one of them being “a grave breach of international peace and security” or “gross and systemic human rights violations or acts of significant corruption”.
I would point out that after the October 7, 2023, Hamas hostage-taking, we did, in fact, do that.
