We need to live up to our obligations, we ask the United Nations to support and enforce sanctions that we impose all the time especially for human right violations. We do have relationships with countries guilty of human rights violations such as China, and Israel.

It was a surprise attack off the coast Israel So just because we have relations with a country doesn't mean we shouldn't support sanctions
