There is no world police force to arrest the perpetrators; where a UN army has been brought in, as in the Congo, it has been a disaster; so the only remaining weapon is selective sanctions and travel bans.

Half of the rest of the world is busy torturing its own subjects.

And if you consider countries such as Iceland or Denmark where there is little or no torture, how exactly can they “not allow” it in Zimbabwe, Iran, Libya, etc etc ?
