My answer on Quora.
It largely ignores them unless there is global pressure to do something about them. Even then I wouldn’t hold my breath. Many of these dictatorships skirt around scrutiny of their human rights abuses by making use of the “Like-Minded Group” protection mechanism. Included under this heading are Algeria, Bangladesh, Belarus, Bhutan, China, Cuba, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Iran, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines, Russia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe (at least under Mugabe).
