The Impact of Human Rights Components on the International Energy Organizations with the Emphasis on OPEC

The gradual development of international law towards the realization of human rights is in such a way that the Jus cogens of international law gradually take on human rights.

But at the same time, OPEC has neglected to pay attention to all generations of human rights.
