Nice site! Definite must-read.

It's a real problem... it's hard for authorities to coordinate on these things, as the home countries don't have enough muscle in the host countries, and the host countries don't tend to pay attention to the problems of non-citizens as much.

It's a matter of what country's citizen u are.

Citizens of rich countries rarely get abused abroad coz their governments have the resources to protect them and the power to retaliate if their citizens do get abused.

Citizens of poor countries are the ones who often get abused coz their poor govts cannot protect them and have totally no retaliatory power.
