True. In a just world, the UN would be sanctioning KSA for its war in Yemen, but what are the chances of that happening? A privatized version is a modest alternative - a pledge that companies sign and enforce about their sources of financing. Nowhere near as good as state backed sanctions but a start.
- gowld 8y agoThe UN is mainly a a forum for a bunch of sovereign nations, not a world government. Sovereign nations can (and do) aplly sanctions where they see fit, unilaterally or in ad hoc multi-lateral agreements.
