Such efforts, based on ulterior motives and self-righteous attitudes, would only serve to harden positions and block improvement of human rights.
Такие попытки, основанные на скрытых мотивах и лицемерных подходах, служат лишь ужесточению позиций и препятствуют улучшению положения в области прав человека.

I like the dusk, especially in March, when the night frost begins to harden the day's puddles, and the gas is burning."

Never had sleep been more refreshing nor food tasted more savoury, and he began already to harden and his face wore a kinglier look.

Quasimodo tried for a week to get back into favour by sitting outside the door and cooing seductively through the crack, but each time I weakened I would catch a glimpse of his tail-feathers, a bright and horrible green, and harden my heart again.
Целую неделю Квазимодо пытался вернуть мое расположение. Он садился у двери и обворожительно ворковал сквозь щелку, однако всякий раз, как мое сердце начинало смягчаться, я смотрел на его омерзительный ярко‑зеленый хвост и снова ожесточался.

Yes, he had done them, secretly, filthily, time after time, and, hardened in sinful impenitence, he had dared to wear the mask of holiness before the tabernacle itself while his soul within was a living mass of corruption.
Да, он совершал их тайно, мерзко, неоднократно. И хуже всего, что в своей греховной ожесточенности он осмеливался носить маску святости перед алтарем, хотя душа его насквозь прогнила.

Besides, self-hardening adhesive attains required strength rather slowly. Therefore, the patient has to stay in the dental chair experiencing further inconvenience.
Кроме того, самотвердеющий адгезив достигает нужной прочности достаточно медленно, а пациент вынужден при этом оставаться в лечебном кресле, что создает дополнительное неудобство.
