| Abstract | This Paper examines the development, role and operation of the major international agencies responsible for the development of energy law and policy, namely OPEC, IEA, Energy Charter Conference and Secretariat, IAEA, United Nations and its agencies, OECD Nuclear Energy Agency, and the European Union. Particular emphasis is placed on the role and effectiveness of each organization in promoting sustainable development. As a former UN civil servant, the writer is in a unique position to evaluate where weaknesses exist. He offers his own views as to the type of reforms, both political, economic and legal, which will be necessary to promote sustainable development to its maximum potential. |
