Human rights have always been used as a cynical tool tool by a clique of countries to forward their own interests. Saudis can be ignored for decades inspite of being the worst offenders on any parameter but Iran, Syria or Libya must be bombed. That itself stops any credible 'human rights concerns' by the US or Europe and infact shifts it the other way for warmongering, massive violations and basically destroying these countries. What can be worse for anyone genuinely concerned about human rights? There have been zero consequences for US citizens involved in these violations from Iraq to Snowden so the idea that we can put the spotlight on anyone is laughable and smacks of dissonance. We can't be building the infrastructure to run total surveillance states, attack other countries at will and yet lecture others on human rights. This is politics masquerading as concern and its the worst sort of exploitation that trivialize and make a mockery of 'human rights'. This type of sanctimonious posturing is completely disconnected from the way the world works and way past its sell by date. Integrity requires either stop the self serving geopolitical agendas or stop the posturing.
