41. "Collective punishment is the punishment of a group of people as a result of the behavior of one or
more other individuals or groups."

You would have to be one cold heartless bastard to try argue that preventing the import of childrens clothing for 3 years was not collective punishment. It serves no defensive purpose whatsoever, it acts only to dehumanize innocent children and cause them suffering.

Please condone at your leisure. We won't be in the least bit surprised.
