Of course China and KSA would never join. And that would give other countries a clear and objective criterion to apply sanctions and international pressure.

Not saying she should be responsible for what her father did, but it is noteworthy because her career was mostly being his daughter.
Really?
Do you really think any international body would hold Saudi Arabia, China to account?
He who holds the purse, makes the rules. And they hold a pretty big purse.
