Why WTO is important for developing countries?

Underlying the WTO's trading system is the fact that more open trade can boost economic growth and help countries develop. In that sense, commerce and development are good for each other. In addition, the WTO agreements are full of provisions that take into account the interests of developing countries.

Does WTO give developing countries a better deal?

Introduction. The WTO Agreements contain special provisions which give developing countries special rights and which give developed countries the possibility to treat developing countries more favourably than other WTO Members.

Is WTO dispute settlement system biased against developing countries?

Although such system should encourage more participation by developing countries and establish harmonized and equitable relationships between member states, the DS procedure seems to show a bias against developing countries.

How do decisions by the WTO affect trade disputes between countries?

By lowering trade barriers through negotiations among member governments, the WTO's system also breaks down other barriers between peoples and trading economies.
