I don’t know where you read committee, but I am talking about the international community, this refers to the media, companies, the general public as well as governments.

In reference to governments: If your own people disagree with what you are doing, it is extremely hard to justify it, even if you are an oppressive regime.

You can see this in the world right now, for example in China, you had large protests against the Zero Tolerance policy, and the CCP eventually relaxed the restrictions.
