Good, idea.
I tried. I ended up with a Fairphone3. I like it, it's ok for me but unsuitable for probably many use cases.
It's hard to do so and still get performant tech. It's hard to even know where the parts came from. Not just for tech but anything you buy.
This is even worse in countries which have weak consumer protection laws and consumers can be duped into beliving it's e.g. from the US when only the last assembly step is done in the US but 90% of the work is done in e.g. China.
Lastly wouldn't that also mean that US products can't be bought. I mean the US not only never signed the human right charter they also never recognized the rights in it independent of the charter. Partially because they where committing human right violations all the times back then.
