A respect for the legal culture of other countries helps to build mutual co-operation even if there is no conceivable avenue for enforcing those laws. Why shouldn't North Korean, Chinese or Iranian law be respected when they are relevent?
So, no maps showing that Kashmir is not entirely and undisputedly part of India. No pictures of women with uncovered faces. No criticism of Kim Jong-Il. No mention that Arab countries call it the Arabian Gulf, or that most other countries call it the Persian Gulf.
