First: All attempts at understanding reality in any epistemological sense are based upon the reflection upon the relation of the I to the Other. In order to be able to be free to act I must set an end myself which I can freely derive and pursue.

Wood 1 (Fichte’s Intersubjective I, February, 2006)
Fichte himself realizes… my own mentality

Second: the only way to resolve a system of free choice of action is if the actions are chosen freely through respect of the autonomous will of the Other

Wood 2
A summons, however…others a reason.

Thus in order to be consistent with ethics, we must be basing ethics in terms of the free calls and relationships to Others. However to respect the other, and allow us to maintain the separateness of the other, we must avoid falsely constructing a perception of them.

Derrida (Deconstructionism in a nut Shell, January 1, 1996)
Now, having said… unity as such

Thus the standard is avoiding totalizing fictions of the other

Developing countries don’t have necessary infrastructure to effectively extract resources.

Geiregat et al (“Too Much of a Good Thing” Finance and Development, September 2013)

Natural resources are… other social indicators

The unequal power dynamic between developing and hegemonic nations manifests itself in resource extraction. Hegemonic nations exploit developing nations, then utilize resource extraction to benefit themselves at the expense of these nations. Our mindset of endless growth and globalization amplified over the last 30 years is the root cause of this dynamic

In his book… planet by 2032

This colonization of another is impermissible because it excludes the Other from ethical consideration. Colonialism definitionally creates superiority, denying that one can relate with the Other, and thus destroys the possibility of ethics at all. 

Wyrick (FACING UP TO THE OTHER: RACE AND ETHICS IN LEVINAS AND BEHN” The Eighteenth Century. FALL 1999)

Although not interested… slavery and murder

We must reject the globalization mindset associated with resource extraction and embrace ecological protection education to end this trend of exploitation

Conceptions of justice that don’t presuppose free rational persons judging impartially must be deficient, because freedom, justice, and rationality are necessarily linked.
Rawls (Rawls, John PhD Princeton, Professor at Harvard. A theory of justice. Belknap Press, 1999.)
I shall maintain… not be misleading

Beatty: (Joseph Beatty  “The Rationality of the "Original Position": A Defense”  Ethics, Vol. 93, No. 3 (Apr., 1983), pp. 484-495 The University of Chicago Press )
Being in the Original Position allows individuals to pursue their ontological identity through the realization of their actions
What compounds the… of selfhood

Beatty 2
An individual’s ability to realize his identity requires that he be bound to the equality and interests of others in society, even though it means giving up ultimate power and freedom.
Why, however, is… to 'self-determination”

Standard is Consistency with Fundamental Moral Principles

Also, our moral obligations to others extend beyond national boundaries
Analytics

Thus, I contend that resource extraction is not a universal or fundamental moral principle.
The unequal power dynamic between developing and hegemonic nations manifests itself in resource extraction. Hegemonic nations exploit developing nations, then utilize resource extraction to benefit themselves at the expense of these nations.
