This is actually a very important point: international trade can and does bypass many local regulations. For example, a lot of countries banned slavery and child labour, and yet import plenty of products created by slavery and child labour in other countries. And we don't talk about this nearly enough. Everybody loves being able to buy super cheap clothes from sweatshops in Bangladesh. Everybody is still going to enjoy the football world championship in Qatar, played in stadiums built by what's effectively a form of slave labour. We should definitely enforce our humanitarian values also through our trade and other agreements, otherwise they're meaningless.
