[Serious] G-20 leaders, don’t forget the women’s rights advocates rotting in Saudi prisons

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

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?

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-,

If a clean human rights record is the standard, there would BE no G20.

I find it both amusing and sad that you want a gaggle of countries who - without exception - have blemished records on human rights (some of them countries which you persistently rail against for that very reason) to correct human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia.
