Yes, if they are causing military, economic, humanitarian, medical or ethical harm outside of their own territory.
@9FNVMTP1yr1Y
Up to own country not relevant

No, as it would encourage this country to move further away from the EU, and closer to our opponents.
@9WQKFWK4mos4MO
It is not our business to decide the policies of an institution or organisation that we are not a member of.
