there's really no redress for this kind of situation so long as nation-states hold sovereignty--that is so long as there are no trans or extra-national legal institutions. even then, there's be problems.
what's strange about this really is the extent to which it devolves onto a dick thing--it is somehow "wrong" that a citizen of a former colonial power should be treated badly by one of these "lesser" countries--you know, with the "tinpot" legal systems and all that.
