Shirin Ebadi says that the most important thing for the international community to do is to not help the Dictators. The way westerners can help is to not accept the dirty money of dictators. Dictators are always involved in corruption and they keep their money in Europeon banks. When they lose power they buy a palace in Europe, they answer is to not let them in.
