Why do you need to know something about international law and international orgnizations

The latest reason: to fend off the scam artists. In addition to the
numerous spelling and grammatical errors, the following scam has
another tell-tale sign: the UNDP was not created until in 1965. Indeed
anyone with some knowledge about the history of the UN should tell
this: as any other specialized agencies of the UN, the earliest date
the UNDP could have been established would be 1945, when the UN itself
came into existence. Now a trivia question: Is the WTO also an UN
specialized agency?

I won't be surprised that pretty soon I will receive another email
telling me that I have won something from the "Technical Assistance
Fund that was created in 1935 by the WTO, the IMF and World Bank". Now
Mr. Scam Artist, don't forget to send me my cut of the cash (no check
please) if you ever decide to adopt that idea.
