It's about time they took such an action. How else can you expect to save the dwindling sturgeon population except to ban the use of it. Prohibition works every time it is tried. The 1920's in the US were a model of sobriety when alcohol was banned.

The 1960's spawned a drug craze that ballooned until drugs too, were banned. Once the laws banning sale and use of drugs went into effect, drug use in the US ceased overnight.

Gun deaths in major US cities too have been stopped. New York city and Washington, DC are two determined sticklers where gun ownership has been curtailed. Both cities saw a resurgence of comity and serenity when guns were banned and the deaths stopped.

Yes, ban world trafficking in caviar. Six billion people will agree, voluntarily to comply. The fish will be saved because no one will buy another ounce of caviar.

I don't remeber, where did the UN get authority to ban anything?

[GeronL]

OK. BAN the UN.

[308MBR]

Yep.......I'm sure this will work almost as well as the international bans on opiates, marijuana, machine guns, child porn......and embezzlement from the revenue of the people of Iraq.

"something smells fishy...."

[globalheater]

Does anybody care about a caviar ban really ?

this stuff is expensive as hell and tastes like fish.

There's cheaper things that smell alike.

No biggy. We'll just get in the car and drive on over to Brighton Beach. My boy Ivan will hook us up with a dime bag. We'll have to watch out for five-oh, I hope they're not running a sting. Sure, it's risky, but I'm tweaking. If we get caught, I'm sure we can get some once we're inside Rikers. It'll all work out.

The global trade in legal caviar has been stopped by the United Nations,

What, exactly is the enforcement power that the UN has here?

[Blood of Tyrants]

If there were no more wild caviar would the liberals still claim that women and minorities were hardest hit?

[R.W.Ratikal]

The people who run and operate the United Nations are mostly from countries where central sewer systems are nonexistent and top hats for their forty wives is more important than human rights.

It is these party-animals who live like royalty mainly on the backs of Americans who must pay reparations to the world because the U.S. is successful.

[Lazamataz]

The global trade in legal caviar has been stopped by the United Nations, leaving gourmands gasping and conservationists cheering.

On what authority? What army does the UN have to enforce it?

And will Kofi Annan be caught getting rich by illegally dealing in something ELSE?

The UN sucks ass. They can all die. Seriously.
