International Trade: Issues Regarding Imposition of an Oil Embargo
Against Nigeria (Letter Report, 11/10/94, GAO/GGD-95-24).

The U.S. House of Representatives has condemned the effort of Nigeria's
military government to thwart that country's return to civilian and
democratic rule and in jailing prominent human rights activists and
democratic political leaders.  This report assesses the potential
economic impact of a multilateral oil embargo on Nigeria, the world oil
market, and the U.S. economy. GAO also examines the political viability
of undertaking such an action.  Finally, GAO assesses the potential
economic impact of a U.S. unilateral oil embargo on Nigeria, the world
market, and the U.S. economy, as well as its potential political impact
on Nigeria.
