Well done Parliament. Russia would be well advised to acknowledge the human rights violations related to Magnitsky and then start working on measures to protect human rights. However, having a virtual dictator as your President makes that difficult. An election every four years and a limitation on serving two consecutive terms for Canada and the United States respectively provides a needed check on abuse of power. Russia needs to take measures to ensure that Russian opposition leaders have an equal chance of being elected. In Canada, we acknowledge human rights violations under legal  decisions or other authorities and then seek to address those violations going forward. Democracy remains a fragile thing and good on Canada for stepping up.
