No mention of accountability for them. Do we have to wait for another Western proxy to overthrow them through brutality in order to hold them accountable? The West's patronizing cover for imperialism has destroyed any basis for "human rights" as anyone on the victimization side of the "rules based order" can transparently see that it is just the same victor's justice that has defined the West since Nuremburg.
