The world today is characterized as a globalized world and the WTO is a key player in the
globalization of the world. The world trade organization (WTO) is an intergovernmental organization
that oversees the trade activities among member nations. The WTO is the successor of the General
Agreements on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), it was formed during the Uruguay round and it came into
existence in 1995. The WTO provides a forum for member states to negotiate and carry out trade
activities amongst each other based on the rules and regulation of the organization and also to reduce
trade barriers and plans to eliminate it completely in the future, it also tries to help developing
countries. The WTO is made up of 160 members with majority

Based on the point mentioned above, I support the idea that the effective
graduation system should be applied in the WTO, as this will bring about more equality and efficiency.
In the article Ten Years of the WTO: A Success Story of Global Governance by Mike Moore,
the author talks about the success and effectiveness of the WTO. The author began by talking about
how the WTO has risen to become a forum of global governance, he stated that almost all countries
want to be members and communist countries like china are part of it. Furthermore, he talks about the
principles of equality in the WTO. The author talks about how the WTO tries to ensure that all
members are treated equally by using policies such as the most favored nation treatment, national
treatment. Finally the author talks about the challenges that WTO faces, he talked about issues such as
the technological development of some members, since the majority members of the organization

Like Moore stated in his article, equality is a key issue in every
organization and there is inequality there will be no success, the WTO has been able to rid itself of
inequality and due to this it has been able to act effectively.
In the article Building on the WTO'S Success by William A. Niskanen, views WTO has the
single most effective international agency (2000). According to Niskanen the WTO has been effective
in his duties and for it to continue to be effective some amendments should be made. Firstly, the
members of the WTO keep increasing and almost all countries are now members and this may lead to
overloading the organization, according to the author if this happens the organization will lose its
effectiveness and to solve this problem, Niskanen believes that the WTO should enforce broader rules
that will make some members pull out of the organization. Secondly the author stated that amendments
should be made in the area of giving sanctions to offenders, according to the author, retaliatory
sanctions should be reduced rather offenders should compensate the aggravated government and
retaliatory sanctions should only be used if offenders fail to abide by the WTO rulings.
While many opponents argue the economics of the issue, they fail to acknowledge that the main goals of punishment are to correct behavior that is deviant from the law and to prevent similar incidences from occurring. Without capital punishment, the culprits would not have to confront the potential of death, meaning that the marginal cost of violent crime would be diminished. Therefore, capital punishment is an effective method to deter
It was declared that for more severe punishment needed to
The sanction will also act as a deterrent to potential violators as well as preserve the lives of the citizens. This knife analogy is in fact implemented in Japan with regards
A person should be punished appropriately for the crime they committed but the punishment should not include putting strain or forcing them to severe their relationships with their
The death penalty on the other hand would have been effective if the overall public minded to consider it a system for ending criminal acts. While a monstrous number would ensure the nonattendance of the death penalty in their real system, the wrongdoing rate continues going higher for countries that still practice the death penalty. Regardless, there is lacking accurate data to exhibit that death penalty has been convincing similarly as maintaining a strategic distance from criminal acts. It infers
These include a general emphasis on consensus-based decision making, which tends to disadvantage developing countries which may have no permanent representation at the WTO’s Geneva headquarters or have delegations much smaller than those of developed countries, or they may be excluded from the club-like meetings that are usually dominated by developed countries. Such subtle biases and the general lack of transparency and accountability in its decision making process have led to the WTO being described as a rich man’s club.” (Andrew Heywood 2011) for me, I agree to that because it was seen in the actions of the WTO that they have a bias treatment between the poor and rich countries wherein when it comes to trade they favored the rich countries rather than the poor one. Is the WTO a democratic
Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. This process has effects on the environment, on culture, on political systems, on economic development and prosperity, and on human physical well-being in societies around the world. The most common example of globalization might be Ebay or Amazon. Nowadays flows of goods and services are not only cheap and fast, but reliable and secure.
Deterrence and the Death Penalty: The Views of the Experts. The Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology (1973-), 87(1), 1. doi:10.2307/1143970 This article was written by Michael L. Radelet and Ronald L. Akers. They both consulted experts on criminology and criminal behaviour to evaluate the effectiveness of the Death Penalty.
Monetary penalties have so many disadvantages that they should not be used to a greater extent in the criminal justice system. Thus some have gone as far to argue that they should be completely abolished. However Burch has said that this would not be possible so reform should be favoured instead. I will argue that updating their current use is essential in order to make the current system of fines more effective and more restricted. I will continue to discuss why fines are not effective, from their rational, to their effect on the offender to the way that they are set in practice.
Introductions International trade refers to a country trade goods and services to another country. International trade open up the world potential market to increase producer sales quantity and increase competition on foreign country. apart from these, international trade will create job opportunity and hence reduced unemployment rate as well as positive balance of payment. however, it might bring negative effects to a country as well, therefore, government play an important role in implementing trade restriction on imported goods in order to prevent imported goods destroy the domestic market or at certain extend, monopolize the market. 94 words A ) Discuss the forms of restriction on international trade.
This applies to all stakeholders’ groups - investors, business managers, labour, suppliers, consumers, administrative bureaucrats and politicians , government servants, young and old men and women as also all types of organizations - firms, trade associations, civic authorities, civil societies, social and cultural organizations, religious centers, scientific bodies, educational centers, political parties, the military organizations. Those who cannot adapt to the global forces sooner will lose their stability and struggle to survive. Those who adjust and convert global opportunities into strategies that make them stronger and continuously relevant so they deal with the threats from the environment more effectively. Globalization is the main factor of the international business. This is a new era of globalization that brings with it opportunities and also new challenges with the dynamics of a free market.
QUESTION1 MULTILATERAL APPROACH TO INTERNATIONAL TRADE AS ADVOCATED BY THE WTO INTRODUCTION A multilateral approach is a treaty that refers to trade between numerous countries. It was the main activity associated with the 1947 GATT which took place during international conferences, whereby legislators came together to reject out and reach agreement on numerous trade issues. In total, there were 8 conferences under the former GATT. The first 6 of these conferences, ending with the Kennedy Round in 1967, concentrated mainly on tariff allowances.
It is clearly that people in the world are the consumers and the prices that we pay for the prices, products and the necessities are affected by the trade policies. The WTO will assure that the members will not misuse the policies made between countries by controlling the policies they made thus the consumers will have the benefit for that. It also stimulates the economic growth. Since the WTO introducing ‘non-tariff barriers’, it creates more jobs as the lower barriers good in employment. More jobs will be offered to the public as the traders will have more opportunities especially it opened to
There is a worldwide trend in the use of penal imprisonment for serious offenses as capital punishment has been renounced by an increasing number of countries. Harsh punishments include capital punishment, life imprisonment and long-term incarceration. These forms of punishments are usually used against serious crimes that are seen as unethical, such as murder, assault and robbery. Many people believe that harsher punishments are more effective as they deter would-be criminals and ensure justice is served. Opposition towards harsh punishments have argued that harsher punishments does not necessarily increase effectiveness because they do not have a deterrent effect, do not decrease recidivism rates and do not provide rehabilitation.
FOREIGN AID It is an economic instrument used by the states to promote their national as well as international interests. It includes the transfer of money,services, goods, technical assistance and other development assistance. etc usually from the donor countries to the recipient countries i.e. from rich countries to the poor countries. Because, their economic and political objectives depend on having a stable international system and the supports of other countries. It is not a new instrument because it has been using by the states from the earlier times.
