   The report updates listing figures and adds new recitals on national regimes, the Magnitsky ruling, and the regime's scope, including corruption and transnational repression. It strengthens calls for accountability, extending sanctions to leaders, family members, and those benefiting from violations, and adds measures on digital surveillance and environmental destruction. It enhances Parliament's role in listing and de-listing, adds review requirements, and proposes new mechanisms for civil society and asset use for victims. It addresses implementation gaps, calling for harmonised enforcement, secondary sanctions, and cooperation with financial authorities to prevent circumvention. The other changes are formal or wording: renumbering, spelling corrections, and minor rephrasing.
