Global Respect Act imposes sanctions on foreign persons responsible for human rights violations against LGBTQI individuals.
The Global Respect Act mandates sanctions against foreign individuals responsible for human rights violations against LGBTQI individuals, including torture, prolonged detention, and disappearances. It requires the President to compile and submit a biannual list of such individuals to Congress. These individuals are barred from entering the U.S., and their visas are revoked. Exceptions apply for immediate family members if they face persecution. The Act also tasks the State Department with tracking violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity in foreign countries.
