The "Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries" (OPEC) includes most of the world's major oil-exporting countries. By agreeing to limit their respective production levels, they maintain a higher price for their oil worldwide. While this extends the life of their domestic fields, and provides substantial income, it is a semi-monopoly that limits the affordability of petroleum in many of the world's developing countries. There is no international law that prohibits such cartels, as would apply within many countries. (In the past, such attempts to control the worldwide production of raw materials would have almost certainly led to conquest of these areas by militarily stronger countries.)
The League of Nations was started in 1919, as an international organization for settling disputes and preventing wars. Republicans in the US were against it, as they thought it went against the Constitution. For this reason Woodrow Wilson's attempts were unsuccessful, and the US never joined.
World leaders used a series of international treaties and agreements to limit the construction of warships, most notably the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922. This treaty aimed to prevent an arms race by establishing limits on the size and number of battleships and aircraft carriers among major naval powers. Subsequent agreements, like the London Naval Treaties, sought to extend and refine these limitations. Such efforts were part of broader attempts to promote disarmament and maintain peace in the interwar period.
