There is no world government... so no.
I mean, if we can sue OPEC, maybe Iraq should have sued the UN Security Council for monopolistic behavior

Oh and I'm on an Off topic forum for a TBS game, so I don't consider that sort of the stuff to be that vital.

However you put it linguistically, if anyone with any clout could have figued out a way to sue them, they'd already be sued, would be being sued, and would be about to be sued. So, no.

I'll explain why I asked the question:
I have just filled the car up and it's ridiculous, even though it's a bit cheaper than a few months ago.
Then i read that OPEC are going to resrict production to maintain high prices- this annoyed me.
I do not for a second think that anyone is under a duty to sell me oil, however I do think that if the market is blamed for high prices and OPEC says they cannot increase production to meet demand when the price was around $140 that they should not reduce production when the price starts to drop.Space is big.
