If you are dealing with carbon credits it might be entirely appropriate. Only if the countries signed on to accept the carbon credit deal. Mindmeld's initial statement included "Don't sign the treaty and then you're in non-compliance with WTO membership rules." Even if your merely using the WTO to enforce sanctions in response to violations of an agreement against countries who have ratified but not followed the treaty, the WTO is still a somewhat questionable venue. Additional responsibilities and controversies thrown in to the WTO umbrella could detract from its main cause of further freeing trade. And if it isn't just enforcing an agreement, but forcing people in to an agreement it would be much more likely to seriously detract from the WTO's main purpose.
