Description
Has the United Nations ever given out a condemnation to a member of the Organizations of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)? Is the United Nations too quick in giving out condemnations to certain countries? Upon closer inspection of the many countries of this world, it becomes clear that there is a definite stratification when it comes to energy and resources. These resources include both renewable resources and high energy yielding resources like oil. This research investigates low resource -possessing nations and how they voted in the United Nations on energy policies. This paper will attempt to answer these questions of ethics, self- interests, and United Nations voting patterns.
