I think it's good to pivot here to talk about how the U.S. can voice its displeasure with this situation.
Unfortunately, if the U.S. is not going to be in Geneva to do that, it'll fall to other countries, and that is a terrible indictment of this administration's commitment to promoting human rights.
There is no doubt. There is no doubt at all. There is worldwide crackdown on civil society underway, and this is but one example.
