The West stands for many things. The West also prioritizes different things at different times. Getting into a conflict with UAE while Europe is on the brink of a massive energy supply crisis would potentially weaken the West even more. I am sure the West is not loving the situation with human rights in UAE, but picks its battles wisely (albeit at the cost of human suffering in UAE).
