This quote about the people , "the West" especially?, who individually and corporately and governmentally devise ways (and laws) of hurting others seems appropriate here.....
"I wonder if these people ever stop and consider what they're doing is completely deranged, and if they do, how they find it acceptable to continue behaving that way. Even when they're clearly shown how damaging or twisted their actions are, they just tell themselves it's ok to "agree to disagree" and other lousy cliches to escape having to confront any potentially uncomfortable thought. I've only met a handful of people who have what little courage to even consider possibilities that are possibly painful for them or aren't self-serving unless confronting them is clearly inescapable. Harming other people is easy for these people.
