See [1966] International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, Part I Article 1 Section 2.

Clearly states:

_"All peoples may, for their own ends, freely dispose of their natural wealth and resources without prejudice to any obligations arising out of international economic co-operation, based upon the principle of mutual benefit, and international law. In no case may a people be deprived of its own means of subsistence."_

This is the basis of CREEnergy.
