背景信息

Today, the potential of international trade and the multilateral trading system to contribute to economic growth, development and employment is widely recognized. State members of the World Trade Organization (WTO) committed to a development agenda at its 4th Ministerial Conference held in Doha in November 2001, but the agenda remains yet to be concluded.  At the conference, trade ministers adopted the “Doha Work Programme” and launched a new round of trade negotiations, placing the interests of developing countries at the heart of these negotiations with a view to facilitating their greater participation in the multilateral trading system.

学习目标

At the end of the seminar, participants will be able to:

•Explain the objectives and rules of the multilateral trading system and the WTO framework;
•Analyze key negotiation issues and negotiation modalities under the Doha Round;
•Identify and discuss issues that cut across different related areas, including environment, employment, gender, and development, etc.;
•Further develop their expertise to contribute positively to current trade-related duties and negotiations within the General Assembly and the Economic and Social Council.
