Summary/Abstract: According to the Magnitsky Law, Russian state officials for whom there was a grounded suspicion that they were involved in Magnitsky’s death were banned from entering the United States and using the American banking system by name. This Magnitsky Law was amended in 2016 in order to extend its previous application only to Russia, now as the „Global Magnitsy Law”, to all persons who commit serious forms of human rights violations, regardless of citizenship or nationality. The Council of Europe adopted two „Magnitsy” resolutions (2014; 2019) under the motto „Struggle against violations through targeted sanctions”. The European Parliament adopted a special resolution on the European sanctions regime for those responsible for human rights violations (2019), and in 2020 the EU Council adopted two important „global” documents (Decision and Regulation) on restrictive measures against those responsible for serious human rights violations. This paper presents a model of the Law on Restrictive Measures for Human Violations (constructed according to the current legislation in Serbia).
