AI Summary
This bill, the Combating Global Corruption Act of 2023, aims to identify and combat corruption in foreign countries. It establishes a tiered ranking system to evaluate countries based on their levels of government corruption and efforts to address it. The bill defines "corrupt actor" and "significant corruption," and outlines minimum standards for countries to comply with, such as enacting anti-corruption laws, enforcing them through fair judicial processes, and making serious efforts to prevent and address corruption. The Secretary of State is required to publish an annual ranking of countries as Tier 1 (complying with minimum standards), Tier 2 (making efforts but not fully compliant), or Tier 3 (making minimal or no efforts). For Tier 3 countries, the bill directs the Secretary of State to evaluate whether foreign persons engaged in significant corruption should be designated as sanctions targets under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act.
