An example of being ideologically neutral would be something like saying 'we don't have the right to decide how societies should live or cultures should be, so I will oppose any instance of one society trying to interfere in the operation of another, for any reason. Everyone should stay in their current regions and govern themselves - or not - however they choose.' Non-intervention, peace as being more important than progressive change, etc.

'Is it right that that society permits murder? It's not our place to decide that for them.'

'They're starving because their economy collapsed, shouldn't we help them since we're doing so well? No, they made their choices and had their own challenges, and whether they succeed or fail is on them and not us.'

And so on...
