#2We want to be green so we're trying to stop drilling for oil. But we also need oil because our society runs on it. This guy has oil. This guy can therefore do whatever he likes.
This is obviously way better than drilling at home.

#3So he can't be held liable because he is the Prime Minister of SA.
Essentially the same thing here where the sitting President cannot be directly charged with a crime (or sued personally).

#5The same happened to Modi, the PM of India, if my memory serves me right. He was banned from entering USA for his deeds, until he turned out to be the head of India.

#8So there is legal immunity for a de facto leader. How about stop selling weapons to murderous de facto leaders? Is there a law to prevent that?
