Will this in any way contribute to global peace or safety?
Nope. There will always be those that challenge others right to exist in the way that they do (whether they do so humanely or not)

All humans stop living. Seriously. The human race and it's prejudices are what cause the majority of these problems. There are no quick fixes or simple solutions. As a Canadian, I'd say that the US needs to stop trying to tell others how to live. But that also applies to Canada. At the same time, economic pressures (a form of telling others how to live) are used to "discourage" human rights violations (and yet, the nation often applying it has done far more than it's fair share of violations against it's own native individuals).

I think the best that we can do, at times, is to do random acts of kindness locally as individuals on how we treat each other. It would less the global effect although it will not ever stop it.
