C'mon, nobody in power gives a shit about human rights and crimes against humanity unless there's economic gain to be had by intervening or it's happening on their own turf. If this wasn't the case then how have so many cases of clear genocide, mass starvation, dictatorship etc. eg Somalia, Zimbabwe etc. been allowed to unfold unfettered by US or UN interference (other than the usual "play nice" rhetoric. Thousands die every day across Africa and nobody gives a shit precisely because there's no economic incentive to interfere. You surely can't be serious.
