Answer

The international organisation responsible for setting and enforcing the global rules of trade among nations is the World Trade Organization (WTO).

Established on 1 January 1995, the WTO succeeded the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and operates as a permanent institution. Its primary functions include:

  • Administering and monitoring trade agreements.
  • Providing a forum for trade negotiations.
  • Resolving trade disputes through a structured dispute settlement mechanism.
  • Supporting developing countries through technical assistance and capacity-building programs.

The WTO’s core objective is to promote free and fair trade by reducing trade barriers, ensuring transparency, and fostering predictable trade policies among its 164 member countries.
