So quit making fools of your selves with double standards all the time by only pointing the finger at Turkey, because there’s no such thing as “good” HR abuses!
If you ever manage to get
both halves of your brain communicating with each other, you may find
life is a colourful, rational world of relativity. Rather more complex than what you seem to be exhibiting, which is some simple computer programme that fails to demonstrate intelligence in discerning gradations .....
I had no idea international law was subject to relativity…
There you go again!
Half a brain engaged!
Since
all countries have
some Human Rights abuses, it stands to reason that some countries are
relatively better observers of laws than others.
And, some forms of abuse are worse than others! Keeping a few illegal immigrants waiting for a month without extradition dates ranks pretty low compared to selling girls to Arabs, for example!
But, I know you can think all this out for yourself; you just seem to have endless energy to burn these days just to have people state the bleeding obvious to you as though you had regressed to some childhood state ....
If international law is subject to relativity thereby making all these Greek issues insignificant…

It seems that shooting ourselves in the foot has become our favorite pastime…
Stop trying to
wiggle out of what is REALLY under discussion ... or I shall seriously doubt your capacity to act in context.
You, out of the blue, brought up the idea of:...
“good” HR abuses ... which begs the qualifier that none would be "good" if they were also "abuses".
However, that crimes take on a
relative criminality goes without saying since upon judgement, punishments are dished out accordingly. That is to say; "punishment fits the crime", if only by "time".
So, though an Embassy may issue strong warnings against travelling to Country X with drugs, for personal use, because torture followed by beheading may interfere with your freedom of expression; it is less likely to issue that same warning if travelling to Country Y if the worst that country does (according to its Human Rights abuses web-link), is have you hanging around for 24 hours in decrepit prison conditions ...
But, less important than any of that - because they should not need spelling out to anyone - is your worrying condition, of "missing the point".
