Because the US, and the UK when it concerns us are countries that should be above such things, and where they are against the law.

We hold ourselves and each other to much higher standards, and so we should!

Human rights are theoretically universal. So why do we hold Nigeria to a lower standard than the United Kingdom? Is it because the people they torture are niggers?

This same issue bugs me about Israel and Palestine. Israel is held to a higher standard for no good reason.

Standards are standards. All nations should be judged by the same standards, because everybody in every country is endowed with the same fundamental rights.
