It has been for decades our policy to not conduct business with nations where the human rights are violated. Unfortunately, our determination has somewhat relaxed and we do business with questionable regimes. It is a well known and established fact that our willingness to help other countries financially have not made the situation of violations of human right better in those nations. Besides, most of the benefits for trading with such countries would not reach the intended needy segments of the populations but end up in the private accounts of the elite class.
