Upon which organization does the international community primarily rely to deal with claims of unfair protectionism by one country against another?

1. International Red Cross (IRC)

2. North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)

3. Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)

4. World Trade Organization (WTO)

The correct answer is: International Red Cross (IRC)

The International Red Cross is typically known for its humanitarian efforts, particularly in providing aid to those affected by conflict and disaster. However, it is not the organization that the international community primarily relies on to deal with claims of unfair protectionism by one country against another. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is a military alliance between various countries, so it would not be appropriate for handling trade disputes. While the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) plays a significant role in the global oil market, it does not have the authority or mandate to address protectionist issues. The World Trade Organization (WTO), on the other hand, was specifically created to facilitate and regulate international trade, making it the primary organization relied upon by the international community for addressing protectionism.
