I usually refrain from making much political commentary.

I will say this: SA is a deeply troubled country, but for once I think the ruling government has actually done a good thing by pursuing this.

SA does not really present itself as an earnest or true actor in the sphere oh human rights.

Well, who does?

Among the major players in world politics I can't see any country with a clean reputation on human rights.

Disclaimer: I am Brazilian, a country with an horrible record of police brutality, of farmers killing indigenous people and environmental activists and an hypocritical ambivalence towards Putin's crimes. And that goes to the previous right-wing and current left-wing governments.
