The G20 is simply asked to not shake hands with the Sauds or take money from them until they free these women, and stop terrorism as means of dealing with criticism.

The whole article in the op is focused on this single demand: if the G20 acts vigilant against the Sauds they can lead to a drastic change in how the country deals with human rights. But instead of acting vigilant; they allow the Sauds to join their meetings instead of boycotting their government and enforce strong economical sanctions against the kingdom.

But the Saudi treatment of women, use of terrorism (both direct and indirect), and disregard for human rights ARE part of Saudi culture. Boycotts and sanctions would be an attempt to change that culture.

You say that the G20 are in no position to enforce their laws on anybody, but then you call for them to enforce sanctions. Sanctions have the force of law.

What else ya got?

Boru

Yes. The G20 is in no position to change the culture of any country.
But it is in position to set rules that govern who joins it.

Saudi Arabia should never be allowed to join their meetings before having a clean human rights record.
That -as you see- is not changing of culture: that is enforcing a term for dealing with the kingdom -or any other country-,
