Exactly that law.

  Alright, but you know, that quite some people would add the US to that list, too? You know, private operated prisons, starting wars, torturing, kidnapping, dronestriking around the world called "extrajucidal killing" etc. etc. etc. This world is not a simple one, so I doubt simple laws can change basic flaws.

If that were ever the justification for trade restrictions with the US, it’d be well deserved. I’d prefer if we as a country took the moral high ground, but in the absence of that, some pressure from outside could be a good thing.

      Hm. But pressure from whom? Russia, india, brasil, pakistan? Probably not ... The EU? Well, we have for example this glorious law that mainly because of the holocaust, we don't kick people out who come asking for help and have no other safe place to go. But since we don't actually want them, we pay and support other dictators and warlords to keep them away from us, so they cannot ask for help in the first place and we punish people who rescue those wrong people from drowning, when they dare to take them to a safe place where they ask for help. So who is left? Switzerland? Maybe, but they for example had never a problem with taking all the dirty money and doing buusness with anyone, as long as its money. This world is not black and white, but yeah, there surely are places which are a lot darker and if we believe to be in a lighter place, we can't feel superior if our wealth is based on those very dark places.
