The World Trade Organization (WTO), founded on January 1,1995, aims to
encourage international trade to flow as freely as possible, making sure that trade
agreements are respected and that any disputes can be settled. In the five years since
its founding, the WTO has become well known as one of the world’s most powerful
economic organizations, taking its place alongside the World Bank and International
Monetary Fund. The system of global rules for international trade , however, dates
back half a century to 1948 when the general Agreement on Tariffs and Trade
(GATT). As time went by, it became clear that GATT had two major drawbacks – the
limited areas of trade it covered, and the lack of an effective system to settle disputes.
After seven years of trade talks ending in 1994, the so-called Uruguay Round
finally gave birth to the WTO, complete with an effective system to settle disputes
and to form new rules covering trade in services and intellectual property. Even after
seven years of talks and with 22,500 pages of agreements reached, problems
remained, especially in the difficult-to-deal-with areas of agriculture and service.
