WTO Dispute Settlement Mechanism with Reference to the Trade and Environment Issues

Abstract

The WTO is dedicated to a number of primary goals, one of which is the preservation of the environment, and another is the promotion of sustainable development. The Marrakesh Agreement, which established the WTO, enshrines these principles, lending credence to the group’s mission to eliminate barriers to trade and prevent discrimination in global markets. Marrakesh Agreement was established in 1994. Marrakesh is the city that saw the beginning of the World Trade Organization. Even if there is no environmental agreement in existence to oversee such acts, WTO members may nonetheless implement trade-related measures to safeguard the environment provided that they do so in accordance with the organization’s statutes.
