Kenneth Roth is the executive director of Human Rights Watch, one of the world's leading human right advocate. He is one of the few westerners who constantly criticize US and EU for their double standars and dealings. Her is some of his articles

-End Europe’s Backing of Egypt’s Repression
-US Should Shun Autocrats, Re-Embrace Human Rights
-Olympic Snow Shouldn't Cover China's Repression
-Stopping the Authoritarian Rot in Europe

Kenneth Roth's rader(like many of us) has spotted a new dictator in the making.

Kenneth's organization is apparently funded by Emirates as well . Again the many double standers.

"Rowland also gave $2 million to Human Rights Watch after the group criticized the UAE in 2011 for the arrest and harassment of activists—including Ahmed Mansoor, one of its own members—during the Arab Spring uprisings. The gift was made through Rowland’s newly established 66 Humanitarian Foundation, which said it was committed to defending human rights in the Middle East.

Robeson, the foundation’s chairman, was elected to the Human Rights Watch board a few months later, in April 2012. He was named to the advocacy group’s Middle East and North Africa advisory committee. “We have been given the complete list of projects currently being undertaken by Human Rights Watch in the Middle East and North Africa,” Robeson wrote soon after joining the board, in a memo he emailed to Jonathan Rowland that he asked him to share with his father. Robeson also said he’d been given detailed notes of a meeting between the group and Britain’s then-Secretary of State for International Development Andrew Mitchell, along with other private briefings."
