I really hate when politicians feign interest in human rights when they clearly have some other agenda, and what's even worse is that voters eat that shit up. Clearly this representative is either advocating for mercantilism or is against electrification and doesn't give a damn about child labor. If you want to stop child labor, then provide more aid to African families so they don't have to send their kids off to the mines. These families aren't stupid. They're desperate, and taking away a option from them without providing another won't make them any less desperate.
The most egregious example was during the Iraq War, politicians suddenly started caring about the Anfal genocide, even though that occurred while America was friendly with Saddam Hussein because they shared the common enemy of Iran.
