The EU proposed to name the new sanctions regime after Navalny

"The EU must approve a global sanctions regime for violation of human rights (its creation has been discussed since 2019. -

) and give it the name of Navalny," Borrell quotes TASS.

According to him, what happened to Navalny "should force the EU countries to stop discussing and approve this mechanism," which would be similar to the Magnitsky act in the United States.

“Thus, the name of Navalny in the future will be associated with EU sanctions against those who violate human rights,” he added.

Borrell noted on September 3 that the EU is calling for an international response to the situation with Navalny and reserves the right to impose sanctions on this matter.
