But this list:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states
contains not 140 but 193 UN member states and 206 listed states.
Which are missing? Just to start, I don't see Algeria, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, or Bolivia listed; to my knowledge those are ordinary nations like the four enumerated. Either it's not "all OECD" because those four are missing, or that list of four is very much incomplete. Or are they saying that those four support it but have not yet joined?
Either way, the hard part comes when individual countries have to legislate compliance with the treaty that their state departments have agreed to, and the really hard part comes when other countries have to collectively enforce the treaty when a signatory adds a loophole or ignores it...
- realityking 5y agoOECD only has 38 members: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OECD https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OECD The four countries mentioned are those that participated in the negotiation but are not signing the final agreement. Unfortunately the article doesn’t explain their objection.
