Analysis: The Saudi kingdom erupted in fury at criticism of its human rights record. Will the West resist Saudi pressure and back Canada?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Well, that escalated quickly.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Canada\u2019s call last week for the immediate release of human rights activists who were detained in Saudi Arabia within days spiraled into a full-blown diplomatic crisis. The Saudi government erupted in fury at Canada’s two-sentence tweet, recalling its ambassador to Ottawa and expelling Canada’s envoy. Riyadh froze all new trade and investments between the two countries, canceled Saudi state airline flights to Canada, and forcibly withdrew its students studying in Canadian colleges.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the same time, the Saudi twitterverse exploded with nationalistic fervor. One widely shared tweet carried a thinly veiled threat, showing an Air Canada plane flying toward Toronto\u2019s skyline, reminding the world that it was mostly Saudi Arabians who were behind the 9\/11 attacks. That image, by a widely followed pro-government account, was taken down and an apology issued, but it continues to be shared and draw commentary.<\/p>\n

One man seems to be the force behind this outburst: Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The prince, 32, has been praised for fighting to transform the kingdom\u2019s economy, steering it away from religious zealotry and enacting reforms like lifting the ban on women driving. But bin Salman has also presided over an unprecedented crackdown on dissent \u2014 imprisoning women\u2019s rights activists, journalists and clerics as well as billionaire princes and businessmen.<\/p>\n

According to experts, the spat with Canada illustrates a different leadership style for the kingdom, and signals a seismic shift in the international order as Saudi Arabia and other governments no longer feel bound by rules long enforced by the U.S. and European democracies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe difference with him is that he is presenting absolute power as the eternal end of everything,” said Abdullah Alaoudh, a senior fellow at Georgetown University\u2019s Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding. “This clashes with liberal democracy, with the idea of sharing power at all, even if it is half-democracy or quarter-democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alaoudh is intimately acquainted with how power is wielded in his homeland \u2014 his father, Salman al-Awda, a prominent cleric who called for democratic reforms, has been imprisoned in Saudi Arabia since September.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cThe message the crown prince is sending is, \u2018We don’t have to be a liberal democracy to be allies. And at the same time we are not going to be a liberal democracy at any point in the future so forget it. So let’s talk about strategic interests and oil and things like that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Bin Salman’s approach can be seen across the board in Saudi Arabia and the region.<\/p>\n

He championed a war in neighboring Yemen that has killed thousands of civilians and is widely considered a quagmire. Saudi Arabia has pressed the boycott of the neighboring Gulf kingdom of Qatar. The surprise resignation of Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri last November, which was broadcast during a visit to Saudi Arabia and later rescinded, is widely thought to have been forced by Riyadh.<\/p>\n

The New York-based group Human Rights Watch on Wednesday warned that the worsening spat between Ottawa and Riyadh “should alarm Saudi Arabia\u2019s allies and all rights respecting countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

“The state of liberty in the West is not what it once was under the impact of terrorism.”<\/p>\n

The question now is whether Europe and the U.S. will support Canada’s call for improvement in the kingdom’s human rights record, or will remain silent in the face of the country’s economic muscle. So far, the official response from the European Union and the U.S. has been muted.<\/p>\n

The European Commission said it was looking for clarification about the arrest of the Saudi rights defenders. But it was clear the E.U.\u2019s executive was not eager to be drawn into the diplomatic dispute.<\/p>\n

European Commission spokeswoman Maja Kocijancic said \u201cwe have been seeking clarification from Saudi authorities\u201d over the arrests since May. \u201cWe don\u2019t comment on bilateral relations,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The United Kingdom, meanwhile, has simply urged both countries to show \u201crestraint.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Washington, State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert told reporters that U.S. officials had \u201cregular dialogue with Saudi Arabia\u201d on human rights. \u201cThis particular case regarding Canada, we have raised this with Saudi Arabia. They are friends, they are partners, as is Canada as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nBut Nauert made it clear the U.S. would not play an active role in helping to settle the dispute. \u201cIt is up to Saudi Arabia and Canada to work this out,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Canada is a NATO member and America\u2019s third-most important trading partner after China and the E.U. The close economic and cultural affinity between Washington and Ottawa is longstanding, although the U.S. has also maintained close ties with Saudi Arabia\u2019s rulers.<\/p>\n

There are signals, however, of the Trump administration’s preferences. President Donald Trump has publicly bashed Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, while Saudi Arabia was the site of the president\u2019s first overseas trip.<\/p>\n

And he has made it clear that human rights are not a priority for his administration, saying during a May 21, 2017, speech to Arab leaders that \u201cwe are not here to tell other people how to live.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bin Salman’s actions have to be seen against a broader backdrop, according to Charles Freeman, the United States ambassador to Riyadh in the late 1980s and early \u201990s.<\/p>\n

Since the late 1970s and President Jimmy Carter\u2019s explicit emphasis on human rights as part of American foreign policy, the U.S. and other Western nations have \u201cfelt emboldened to comment on internal conditions and political developments” in Saudi Arabia, Freeman said.<\/p>\n

\"President<\/a>

But the end of the Cold War after the collapse of the Soviet Union also dealt a blow to the global order that saw Western democracies freely lecture about human rights conditions in other countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnity within what used to be called the Western bloc has disappeared,” Freeman said. “But you also have the devolution of authority to regional actors and powers among which is Saudi Arabia. There will very likely be more forceful reactions by third-world countries to Western pontificating on their lack of liberal institutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

These days, Western nations \u2014 in particular the U.S. \u2014 have a harder time occupying the moral high ground, Freeman added.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe state of liberty in the West is not what it once was under the impact of terrorism,” he said, adding that examples of U.S. forces torturing detainees and officials engaging in extraordinary rendition undermined its claims to the moral high ground.<\/p>\n

“There is a lot of hypocrisy, which is to say the moral standing of countries like the United States and Canada to preach to others about liberal values is not what it once was,” he said.<\/p>\n

This trend has only accelerated under Trump, Freeman and other analysts said.<\/p>\n

As for bin Salman’s forceful reaction to Canada’s criticism, he said it is most likely aimed at sendi<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
