It doesn't absolve those who commit the atrocities, even if there are externalities involved. It's not always the White Man's fault - neither in Africa nor the Middle East. We can and should hold the societies in those places to a certain global standard of conduct.

Whose standard of conduct should the cultures you deem inferior be held to, exactly?
That's an easy one - to the same standard we hold Israel. No more, no less.
Hell no, that's ridiculous. Israel is a wholesale violator of human rights at massive scale, along with its criminal 5-eyes cronies, and it is in the midst of an imperialist genocide, murdering children every single day. If a state cannot defend itself against children, it is failed and should be refactored by its citizens, immediately and with haste.

We also strike the USA off the list, which cannot even take care of its peoples' most basic needs.

Switzerland. The answer you're looking for, is Switzerland. /s
