4. Opec is a cartel and uses modern slave labour as forign workers
Edited on Sat May-03-08 11:58 AM by JanErikFl
WTO regulations unequivocally state that all countries must ensure the conformity of their laws, regulations and administrative procedures with WTO rules. As such, the OPEC alliance can be considered as a cartel with illegal control of market prizes.
Not to mention the awful conditions of the forign workers, in the OPEC countries. In Saudi alone, roughly five and a half million foreign workers play an important role in the Saudi economy, .

And what about the women issue and human rights ?

You should read the Saudi report by SENATOR FRANK R. LAUTENBERG
