The organization officially commenced on January 1, 1995 under the Marrakech Agreement, replacing the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), which commenced in 1948. The organization deals with regulation of trade between participating countries; it provides a framework for negotiating and formalizing trade agreements, and a dispute resolution process aimed at enforcing participants' adherence to WTO agreements which are signed by representatives of member governments and ratified by their parliaments. [4] [5] Most of the issues that the WTO focuses on derive from previous trade negotiations, especially from the Uruguay Round (1986-1994). The organization is currently endeavoring to persist with a trade negotiation called the Doha Development Agenda (or Doha Round), which was launched in 2001 to enhance equitable participation of poorer countries which represent a majority of the world's population. However, the negotiation has been dogged by "disagreement between exporters of agricultural bulk commodities and countries with large numbers of subsistence farmers on the precise terms of a 'special safeguard measure' to protect farmers from surges in imports.

Introduction There appears to be wide agreement that the International Mone- tary Fund is an effective international institution, standing alongside its sister, the World Bank Group, as a success of the post-World War II era. The Fund devised an organization, assembled a highly professional ca- reer staff, and by the end of its first decade had emerged from financial inactivity and seeming somnolence into the self-confidence and perform- ance that have since characterized it. Shaken to its roots by the collapse of the Bretton Woods par-value system in 1971-73, the Fund displayed a capacity for survival and adaptation which gainsaid the funeral orations preached over its casket at that time. How did this successful evolution come about? This essay is ad- dressed to that question.

Not for Redistribution Foreword The Bretton Woods conference of July 1944 was of incalculable impor­ tance for the world economy. It demonstrated and gave life to a remark­ able spirit of international economic cooperation; produced agreements that made possible the reconstnıction of war-torn economies and an un­ precedented growth of output and trade in the following decades; and created two institutions, which we now have the honor to lead, that have been central in the effort to achieve those goals.

  • Inventaire Des Papiers Camille Gutt
    $$ ,QYHQWDLUHGHV3DSLHUV&DPLOOH*XWW 1. Eléments biographiques : Camille Gutt (1884-1971) Camille Gutt (1884-1971) est né à Bruxelles le 14 novembre 1884. Son père Max Guttenstein est originaire de Neuzedlich tandis que sa mère, Marie-Paule Schweitzer est originaire de Bichwiller en Alsace. Installée à Bruxelles depuis 1877, la famille Guttenstein compte deux enfants, Hélène Gutt et Camille Gutt. En 1886, Max Guttenstein bénéficiera de la nationalité belge par le biais de la procédure de la grande naturalisation. Diplômé en Sciences politiques et Docteur en Droit de l’Université de Bruxelles, Camille Gutt débute dans la vie professionnelle comme avocat et journaliste. Engagé dans le Corps français des Saphis, il refuse, en 1915, de suivre son régiment dans les Dardanelles pour rejoindre Le Havre. Là, il rencontre un grand nombre de personnalités belges, comme Gaston Blaise ou encore Fernand Neuray. En 1916, il est envoyé à Londres pour rejoindre l’équipe chargée des achats en Grande-Bretagne dirigée par Georges Theunis (1873-1966). Séduit par l’intelligence du jeune lieutenant, ce dernier décide d’en faire son plus proche collaborateur. Une longue histoire de collaboration et d’amitié va alors naître entre les deux hommes. Camille Gutt est ensuite désigné comme Secrétaire général de la Commission du Ravitaillement à Londres. En 1919, il sera rappelé par Georges Theunis au poste de Secrétaire Général de la délégation belge à la Commission des Réparations créée dans la foulée du Traité de Versailles. Lorsque Georges Theunis est nommé ministre des Finances, en 1921, pour ensuite diriger le Cabinet jusqu’en 1924, Camille Gutt le suit comme chef de Cabinet même si l’essentiel des ses activités concerne la poursuite des négociations des réparations allemandes.
