That is a theme that has occurred over and over again in different hearings we've conducted on a number of subjects from countries around the world: the worst and most alarming human rights situations occur when abuses of human rights become self-financing. As long as they're a budgetary issue, they suffer from the same problems that anything that costs money to the treasury suffers from, but once they can start financing themselves....
The worst example of this ever in the history of the world is the SS, which essentially turned the Holocaust into a self-financing institution. One should always be careful about making such comparisons. I'm not doing that here, but that is a concern.
Thank you very much for what has been extraordinary testimony. I'm very grateful to you, as is every member of this committee.
