France's unconditional welcome of MBS legitimizes human rights violations, outweighing diplomatic benefits. | While the diplomatic engagement may promote regional stability (SDG 16/17), the decision to welcome Mohammed bin Salman without conditions risks normalizing impunity for human rights violations and undermines global justice frameworks. The negative aspects outweigh the potential benefits, as the action directly enables a regime with a documented record of abuses.
