Okay hold the US government for aiding in Saudi Arabia's human rights abuses.
I don't know whether to cheer for things like this, though I do support works for improving human rights. For the most part they seem to be drops in the ocean of human rights abuse. And I don't know if it's doing anything to stop those abuses or just a control mechanism to make us feel like we are accomplishing something... while the biggest abusers and their supporters continue scot-free.
Human rights theater is better than no attention paid to human rights at all.
In particular the Helsinki Accords, which seemed empty when signed, seemed to wind up being influential a decade or so later. I've been sympathetic to human rights theater ever since.

We try to make push backs where we can. You're right though. It does feel futile. It must be so frustrating to work in human rights.
