At its heart are the WTO agreements, negotiated and signed by the bulk of the world’s trading nations and ratified in their parliaments. The WTO has 164 members (including European Union) and 23 observer governments. Background :- The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) traces its origins to the 1944 Bretton Woods Conference, which laid the foundations for the post-World War II financial system and established two key institutions, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. Formation of GATT :- Meanwhile, an agreement as the GATT signed by 23 countries in Geneva in 1947 came into force on Jan 1, 1948 The GATT became the only multilateral instrument (not an institution) governing international trade from 1948 until the WTO was established in 1995. Despite its institutional deficiencies, the GATT managed to function as a de facto international organization, sponsoring eight rounds (A round is a series of multilateral negotiations) of multilateral trade negotiations. Why WTO replaced the GATT 1- The GATT was only a set of rules and multilateral agreements and lacked institutional structure. 2- The trade in services and intellectual property rights were not covered by regular GATT rules. 3- The GATT provided for consultations and dispute resolution, allowing a GATT Party to invoke GATT dispute settlement articles if it believes How the WTO is organized Functions The WTO’s overriding objective is to help trade flow smoothly, freely and predictably. It does this by: administering trade agreements acting as a forum for trade negotiations settling trade disputes reviewing national trade policies building the trade capacity of developing economies cooperating with other international organizations SUBSCRIBE THE CHANNEL Important topics for DELHI UNIVERSITY Graduation & Post Graduation Exams Understands Concept in easy language PAID LIVE VIDEO CLASSES Also Available Benefits of paid live video classes: ~Detailed written notes available ~Doubt Classes ~ Weekly Worksheets ~Study Accordingly recent pattern of Delhi University
