Perhaps I've misunderstood your comments from before. My understanding of what you're saying is that sanctions have a place, but there is also existing legislation that deals with things like human rights violations, very serious human rights violations. Could you speak to whether or not it makes more sense to use existing legislation that would capture very serious human rights violations, rather than going down the sanctions road? Will sanctions achieve anything beyond the existing legislation that's in place already? I wonder if we're playing a game with human rights here which no one, I think, wants to do.
When I say “playing a game”, I'm talking about trying to embarrass regimes or trying to target regimes for very political reasons related even to domestic politics, for instance.
However, please continue.
