Solution
- The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was signed on 30th October 1947 by 23 countries to promote international trade by reducing and eliminating trade barriers such as tariffs or quotas.
- It came into force on 1st January 1948. It aimed to boost economic recovery after World War II through reconstructing and liberalizing global trade.
- It introduced the most-favored-nation principle. GATT was refined over 8 rounds of negotiations, leading to the creation of the World Trade Organization (WTO), which replaced GATT on 1 January 1995.
- The WTO also covers services and intellectual property. It is the international agency that oversees international trade rules; i.e., it promotes free trade agreements, organizes trade negotiations, settles trade disputes, etc.
- Its headquarters are in Geneva. It has 123 member states. The WTO dispute settlement system is faster and more automatic than the GATT system, and its rulings cannot be blocked.
