Imp’t step by to sanction Burmese officials under Global Magnitsky Act for their brutal campaign against the Rohingya people. With atrocities growing, the US must do more to hold accountable human rights abusers in #Burma & around the world. politico.com/amp/story/2018

I'm proud the NDAA is now law & humbled Congress chose to designate it in my name. As Chairman of the Armed Services Cmte, I've found high purpose in service of a cause greater than self—the cause of our troops who defend America & all that she stands for. mccain.senate.gov/public/index.c

Kabila will not seek a third term as #DRC president, which is good news. But the governing coalition’s selection of Ramazani, sanctioned by the EU for #humanrights abuses, is very concerning. Now, the DRC gov. & CENI must ensure a free & fair vote in December.

Hun Sen's claim of victory in sham election robs the Cambodian people of their right to freely and fairly choose their leaders. The international community must strongly condemn any attempt by the Hun Sen regime to legitimize its actions.

The people of #Montenegro boldly withstood pressure from #Putin’s Russia to embrace democracy. The Senate voted 97-2 supporting its accession to #NATO. By attacking Montenegro & questioning our obligations under NATO, the President is playing right into Putin’s hands.
