“There is simply no way to enforce a one-size-fits-all mechanism that establishes minimum standards or thresholds for acceptable human rights performance.” That’s quite right, governments just pretend they believe in universal human rights and all the declarations, convenants and conventions they sign up to which crazily claim there ARE minimum standards and that some rule of law should prevail. In fact of course, “aid” is largely about business and political influence – in exactly the same way there is one law for the very rich and a very different one for the poor.
