Practical Guide to the WTO
2004
Caroline D (ed) | Kamol K (ed)
This concise and simply-worded guide to the World Trade Organisation (WTO), published by 3D, contains pointers for individuals and groups concerned with human rights to respond to the threats trade and trade rules can pose to the enjoyment of human rights. <br /><br />The authors describe human rights mechanisms that can be applied by people concerned to ensure that trade, trade rules or the domestic implementation of international trade rules are carried out in a way that does not have negative impacts on human rights. In particular, the authors point out some simple actions human rights advocates concerned about trade liberalization can undertake to ensure accountability of economic decision-makers. <br /><br />While the case studies used in this guide focus primarily on Asian countries, the authors argue that the subject-matter will be of interest to readers from all regions and that no prior knowledge of trade or economic issues is required to read and make good use of this guide. Additionally, whilst it is primarily designed for human rights professionals, the authors contend that this guide will also interest a broader audience including journalists, parliamentarians, students and other interested people. <br /><br />[adapted from author]
