In common with other countries’ practice, the Australian Government has the power to subject individuals and companies to extrajudicial targeted sanctions, such as asset freezes and travel bans.
It has now committed to introducing a reform of the Australian sanctions regime by the end of 2021. This follows a Parliamentary inquiry that recommended that Australia put in place a ‘Magnitsky’ sanctions regime to target foreigners engaged in corruption or gross human rights abuse, in line with overseas partners as the US, UK and Canada.
This webinar brings together Australian and international speakers to explore the lessons that the Australian government and wider expert community should draw from existing overseas experience in considering these questions.
Our panel:
• Geoffrey Robertson AO QC, Doughty Street Chambers
• Dr Anna Bradshaw, Peters & Peters
• Dr Adam Masters, ANU Transnational Research Institute on Corruption
The discussion was chaired by Dr Anton Moiseienko, lecturer at ANU College of Law.
