World Trade Organization: Roles, and Contribution to World Trading




Administering Trade Agreements


Trade Negotiations

Whenever goods are exchanged, everyone is trying to get a good deal and make as much profit as possible. For this to happen, all parties have to be in agreement. The world trade organizations help the parties to make this agreement peacefully. They agree on tariff, subsidies and many more.

Trade Monitoring

After they have created rules and facilitated negotiations, they still have to monitor the trade and ensure that nothing changes in between. They make sure every part of the agreement is fulfilled and no party has a course to complain. It is because of their capability that most of their members have confidence in them to see their trade through until the final stage.

Dispute Settlement

The WTO has rules put in place to ensure that trades go smoothly and is favorable for everyone in it. Governments of nations who feel like their right is being infringed under the rules of the world trade organization come to them to help settle disputes. When this happens they set up a panel that looks into the issue and finds ways to solve it peacefully in accordance to their rules.

Technical Assistance and Training

After all of the above, they also offer technical assistance when necessary. They offer technical help and training to developing countries that need them. This will help produce faster and make better products that boost their trading capacity.

It has been said that if the world trade organization did not exist, the obstacles to trading would have been more and the disputes between countries would have doubled or gone unresolved. Simply put, they facilitate trades between two countries and make sure that all trades are devoid of abnormalities. They also combat inequality and create a level playing ground for third world countries in the international market.
