Government Information - Intergovernmental Organizations: World Trade Organization

A database that provides access to the WTO's official documentation, including legal texts of WTO agreements.

"Most of the WTO agreements are the result of the 1986–94 Uruguay Round negotiations, signed at the Marrakesh ministerial meeting in April 1994. There are about 60 agreements and decisions totalling 550 pages.

Negotiations since then have produced additional legal texts such as the Information Technology Agreement, services and accession protocols. New negotiations were launched at the Doha Ministerial Conference in November 2001."

The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was an organization that ran from 1947 to 1994. It promoted international commerce and the reduction of trade barriers. The GATT digital library is prepared by Stanford University.

A digital archive of official GATT documents put out by the WTO. It is a work in progress - not all documents have been uploaded.
