Corruption and Targeted Sanctions
In Corruption and Targeted Sanctions, Anton Moiseienko analyses the blacklisting of foreigners suspected of corruption and the prohibition of their entry into the sanctioning state from an international law perspective. The implications of such actions have been on the international agenda for years and have gained particular prominence with the adoption by the US and Canada of the so-called Magnitsky legislation in 2016. Across the Atlantic, several European states followed suit. The proliferation of anti-corruption entry sanctions has prompted a reappraisal of applicable human rights safeguards, along with issues of respect for official immunities and state sovereignty. On the basis of a comprehensive review of relevant law and policy, Anton Moiseienko identifies how targeted sanctions can ensure accountability for corruption while respecting international law.
Bad People
From the Nuremberg trials to the arrest of General Pinochet to the prosecution of barbarians of the Balkans, we have crafted a global human rights law to punish crimes against humanity. And yet today it is rarely applied: the International Criminal Court has faltered, populist governments refuse to cooperate, the UN Security Council is pole‐axed and liberal democracy is on the defensive. When faced with the torture of Sergei Magnitsky, the murder of Jamal Khashoggi and the repression of the Uighurs, what recourse do we have? Distinguished human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson argues that our most powerful weapon is Magnitsky laws, by which not only perpetrators but their accomplices – l...
Freezing Order

A Difficult Neighbourhood
Through a series of essays on key events in recent years in Russia, the western ex-republics of the USSR and the countries of the one-time Warsaw Pact, John Besemeres seeks to illuminate the domestic politics of the most important states, as well as Moscow’s relations with all of them. At the outset, he takes some backward glances at the violent suppression of national life in the ‘bloodlands’ of Europe during World War II by the Stalinist and Nazi regimes, which helps to explain much about the region’s dynamics since. His concern throughout is that a large area of Europe with a combined population well in excess of Russia’s could again be consigned by the West to Moscow’s care, ...
Entangled Far Rights
Since the Ukrainian crisis in 2014, Russia’s support to the European far right—and to a variety of populist leaders more globally—has become a cornerstone of the West’s perception of Moscow as a “spoiler” on the international scene. The fact that Russia’s most fervent supporters are now to be found on the right of the ideological spectrum should not be a surprise. The European far right has always had Russophile tendencies, but these were obscured during the Cold War, when rightist politics were most of all anti-Communist. Entangled Far Rights traces the “intellectual romance” that existed between European far right groups and their Russian-Soviet counterparts during the twentieth century and accounts for their recent re-emergence.

Kalde penger
Hvordan er det å leve som Putins fiende nummer én? Hva gjør du når den russiske presidenten og støttespillerne hans kommer etter deg med alt de har av ressurser? Når du blir truet på livet og får rettsak etter rettsak på nakken? Bill Browder har opplevd alt dette - og forteller nå historien i denne dokumentarthrilleren. Idet Putin og støttespillerne hans mister kontrollen på enorme summer de har fryst ned i utlandet, starter de jakten på mannen som satte det hele i gang. Bill Browder var tidligere Russlands største fondsforvalter, før han i 2009 ble korrupsjonsjeger og menneskerettighetsaktivitet. I dag er han svartelistet som en «trussel mot rikets sikkerhet» i Russland. Kalde penger er sann historie om grenseløs grådighet og om hva Putin er villig til å gjøre for å beskytte pengene sine. Men det er også historien om en manns kamp for rettferdighet og viljen hans til å utfordre Putin - koste hva det koste vil. Bill Browder er økonom og finansmann og grunnlegger av Hermitage Capital Management. Browder har mottatt en rekke utmerkelser for arbeidet sitt som menneskerettighetsaktivist
Orden de embargo

Orden de embargo es a la vez una aventura financiera, una aventura internacional y una apasionada búsqueda de justicia. Cuando el joven abogado ruso de Bill Browder, Serguéi Magnitski, fue asesinado a golpes en una cárcel de Moscú, Browder convirtió en la misión de su vida perseguir a sus asesinos y asegurarse de que se enfrentaran a la justici...
Le Règne de glace
Moscou, 2009. Sergueï Magnitski est arrêté et torturé à mort dans une geôle moscovite après avoir dévoilé une escroquerie fiscale de 230 millions de dollars. Depuis, son ami et collaborateur Bill Browder dénonce avec ferveur les machinations financières de Poutine et consorts, se retrouvant ainsi dans le viseur du Kremlin. En 2012, aux côtés de Barack Obama, Browder a fait adopter la « loi Magnitski », permettant aux gouvernements étrangers de geler les biens des oligarques russes visés par la justice. Cette arme puissante contre les violations des droits de l’homme est maintenant en vigueur dans plus de trente pays, suscitant la fureur du président russe. À travers une série d’épisodes mettant en scène des juges, des politiques et des hommes d’affaires, Le Règne de glace raconte le combat de Browder pour que justice soit faite, qu’importent les risques. Ce récit explosif, où la réalité dépasse la fiction, dévoile l’étendue de la corruption politique et financière en Russie.
