Origins And Aims Of GATT/WTO

Abstract: 3 pages in length. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), which was first signed in 1947, was designed to "provide an international forum in order to encourage free trade between member states by regulating and reducing tariffs on traded goods and by providing a common mechanism for resolving trade disputes. GATT membership now includes more than one hundred ten countries" (Anonymous, 1999). With membership numbering over one hundred countries, the impact GATT has had upon its original aims has been a mixture of success with challenge. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
