Question: The players of the global economy may violate the international rules without any punishment and unfortunately there is no effective system to punish them.Do yuo think that we need that kind of system?That can be manage by WTO.
Answer It is true that the international system does not have anything comparable to domestic judicial institutions. But international law has evolved over time, so that even major players have to abide by international rules. The WTO system is, I believe, an evidence of this trend. Over its first 10 years of existence, small countries have been successful in bringing cases to the WTO dispute settlement system and obtaining the removal of measures that affected their exports. WTO Members are currebtly examning ways in which to strenghten this system.
Question: Many efforts are being made in the Doha Round to help Least Developped Countries access European and American markets (for example). These countries will need substantial technical support in order to meet customs standards of security and administrative demands in America and Europe. What concrete technical support will the WTO suggest to help these countries (besides monetary aid)?
Answer You are right. The WTO Secretariat has a programme of technical assistance that aims to help the LDCs access their major markets effectively. But we can't do it alone. Many other international organizations and governments are also engaged in these support activities.
