World Trade Organization
2024
The World Trade Organization (WTO) is a global international organization for member nations to address and solve trade disputes. The primary purpose of the WTO is to open trade for the benefit of all people—accomplished through the negotiation of trade rules and agreements, and dispute settlement. The organization assists member states as they navigate global trade negotiations, acts as an arbiter during trade disputes, provides oversight during agreement implementation, and maintains a regular dialogue with other non-governmental and international organizations. The World Trade Organization also focuses on the ways in which trade and globalization impact health.
The WTO produces a flagship report, entitled the World Trade Report, as well as numerous other publications and reports. The organization also provides an extensive data portal where the user can select from an array of indicators, reporting economies, products/sectors, and years. The World Trade Organization provides an online resource collection on trade topics; a portal for documents, data, and resources; as well as a section for news and events.
