That's not particularly sad, if you ask me. It's a simple principle, really.
It goes something like this: "All global citizens should be accorded the rights that any American citizen expects."
Though this question goes beyond citizenship and law and into basic morality -- it could be assigned a legal basis, for better or worse.
Perhaps such treaties exist so citizenship appeals to cool-headed people. If a nation can't even repudiate torture (that is, sadistic behavior), what the hell good is it?
