If national leaders turned up their noses at every human rights violating country then international affairs would be non-existent. Everyone has some human rights violations in their closets, some worse than others. I want our leaders to meet with countries that are having these concerns because the international community talking with them is the only way we have to try to put an end to it. Internally the people can rise up, but our only recourse is diplomacy when we are on the outside looking in. Cutting countries off that commit atrocities creates nations like the DPRK.
