Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the anti-corruption sanctions regime, which is an important link in the global anti-corruption system. First, the basic premises of the US anti-corruption sanctions regime based on the Magnitsky ACT are discussed, followed by a review of the legislation of other countries that have followed the US example or have attempted or made policy statements to implement a sanctions regime, and the potential goals to be achieved and challenges to be overcome related to the emergence and development of a global anti-corruption sanctions regime are extracted. Finally, recommendations for the national legislator were formulated, including an attempt to answer whether Poland should implement additional legal solutions to intensify the fight against global kleptocracy based on authoritarian corruption.
