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) was
formed after World War II. As time went by, it became clear that the 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
