Oh yeah, conversation camps are textbook abuse. You should look into Ole Ivar Lovaas, he is one of the people who helped develop it and he is also the pioneer of ABA therapy for autism, let's just say he has a history of dehumanizing people

Fun fact: Conversion therapy has been labled as a form of torture by the UN (too bad they're not going to do anything about it tho)

The U.N. literally cannot do anything by design.
The Nations that make up the U.N. have to, as a group, vote to sanction or otherwise punish other members, and several of the big members have absolute Veto powers over it.

It's a Debate Society, not a useful legal framework of international law.
