Uh, well, you know, here at the UN we give people every conceivable benefit of the doubt. And then some. We just don't believe in being too picky or looking too hard. Too inconvenient, and it makes for unpleasant frictions, which would disrupt the usual cordial and convivial UN atmosphere. Live and let live (or whatever). Besides, it's OK for third-world countries to do things abominable by first-world standards. We have to be reasonable. Not to mention fashionably leftist. And if we're going to be hypocritical (which is a given), we might as well be consistent about it.
