What the UN can do in impose sanctions and that sort of thing to make life more difficult for those it considers abrigers. Inherit in that is a sense of hypocrisy by not allowing sovereign countries to have free say in how they run their affairs. Regardless, this still doesn't affect what businesses will or will not allow to be done on their Web sites, or can and cannot do on their properties.
