The WTO is the only international agency overseeing the rules of
international trade. Its purpose is to help trade flow smoothly, in a
system based on rules, to settle trade disputes between governments,
and to organize trade negotiations.

The WTO is an inter-governmental organization. The main
decision-making bodies are councils and committees consisting of the
WTO's entire membership. Administrative and technical support comes
from the WTO Secretariat in Geneva.

The WTO was set up in 1995. The international organization that
preceded it was the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT),
although the GATT agreement is now part of the WTO agreements —
GATT deals with trade in goods, the General Agreement on Trade in
Services (GATS) deals with trade in services, and the Agreement on
Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual property (TRIPS) deals with
such issues as copyright, trademarks, patents, industrial designs and
trade secrets.

Since its creation in 1995, the WTO has been the forum for successful
negotiations to open markets in telecommunications and in information
technology equipment. It has been involved in settling more than 150
trade disputes, and it continues to oversee the implementation of the
agreements reached in the 1986-94 Uruguay Round of world trade
talks. It was the Uruguay Round that led to the WTO's creation. Uruguay Round that led to the WTO's creation.
