<<the WTO eclipses national sovereignty...to bypass democratically legislated laws>>

This is the issue that is key to the globalist vision. Nation-states are just an artificial construct, or so they say. Here is a pretty good piece that articulates the matter well:

The power of the WTO to strike down laws is one of the major objections of WTO critics to the organization itself. It represents usurpation of democratically elected bodies by an undemocratic, unelected body that is almost completely dominated by corporate interests. When a country, usually at the request of a company or industry, lodges a complaint that another country's law is "WTO-illegal" The complaint is then heard by a secret tribunal of corporate lawyers in Geneva. Proceedings are closed to the public. No appeal is possible. So far, in four years, every complaint decided to date has been upheld by the Geneva tribunals.
