The World Trade Organization: Implementing International Trade Norms (Melland Schill Studies in International Law) - Tapa dura

The World Trade Organization, set up at the conclusion of the Uruguay Round of Trade Negotiations and coming into force on 1 January 1995, forms the new pillar of the international trading system. This book explains the legal framework established by the WTO, and explores how it can be made to work in practice. Asif H. Qureshi provides a basic guide to the new WTO code of conduct, and then focuses on implementation. First, he explains the institutional provisions of the WTO through an examination of GATT 1994 and the results of the Uruguay Round. Part Two covers techniques of implementation, and the third section covers the issues and problems of implementation relating to both developing countries and trade "blocs". Finally, Qureshi presents a complementary documentary appendix, including a complete copy of the Marrakesh Agreement establishing the WTO.
