the end of global oil injustice.

The problem with the scenario sketched out here is that nearly all the "injustices" ever recognized by the UN are related to the "inequitable distribution of wealth" that has been "perpetuated" by the "selfish" Western countries who refuse to "contribute" their "fair share" of their wealth to the "greater good."

I have never seen, even once, an acknowledgement in any UN or NGO forum of how utterly destructive the open racketeering of OPEC has been to the world's poorer economies. Had OPEC consisted of American corporations rather than national monopolies they would all have gone to jail.

I can't see the UN acting against OPEC at any time for any reason. If it can't be blamed on America/Israel/the West, than the UN has no patience for it.

Good point about the UN and OPEC which should be repeated often.
