    no State may use or encourage the use of unilateral economic, political or any other type of measures to coerce another State in order to obtain from it the subordination of the exercise of its sovereign rights”

    Nope, it’s just stupid. Imagine saying it’s wrong to stop trading with a genocidal dictatorship because their economy is developing.

    The idea of people boycotting Apartheid South Africa was probably horrible to the U.N.

      Bro nobody has ever stopped trade with countries with genocidal dictators. Some countries use that as a reason to stop trading when the trade becomes unfavorable for them, but thats never the real reason.
