<p>The UK champions human rights and combats corruption. The UK supports UN sanctions
and also have our own autonomous 'Magnitsky' sanctions that are an agile tool to act
rapidly against human rights violators and abusers as well as corrupt actors, to maximum
effect. Since the UK Magnitsky regimes were put in place, we have sanctioned 89 persons
under the Global Human Rights regime and 35 under the Global Anti-Corruption regime.
We will continue to use our Sanctions regimes to pursue designations in response to
human rights violations, abuses and serious corruption. Ministers remain accountable
for these sanctions through select committees, debates, and answering written or oral
questions.</p>
