Does it matter to you?
I mean visiting dodgy countries.
The sort of places which, for example, invade other countries, kidnap, take hostages, kill indiscriminately, take political prisoners, torture or assassinate those they dont like and which generally have a poor record on human rights.
Do you take this into consideration when trip planning? Do you say it's none of your business and anyway what difference does my visit make? Does it matter?
I refer to countries which practice many or some of the above actions, such as some of the 'Stans, Myanmar, India (in Kashmir), the US, Libya, Israel, Egypt, Syria, and so on. There are many more.
So how do you calm your conscience? If it needs calming at all.
