  • The Revised Wto Agreement on Government Procurement (Gpa): Key Design Features and Significance for Global Trade and Development
    ARTICLES THE REVISED WTO AGREEMENT ON GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENT (GPA): KEY DESIGN FEATURES AND SIGNIFICANCE FOR GLOBAL TRADE AND DEVELOPMENT ROBERT D. ANDERSON AND ANNA CAROLINE MULLER¨ * ABSTRACT The World Trade Organization’s (WTO’s) plurilateral Agreement on Govern­ ment Procurement (GPA or “the Agreement”) is an important ongoing success story for the Organization. In the spring of 2012, the GPA Parties completed a full revision of the Agreement, with regard to both its text and market access commitments under it. Since then, the revised GPA has entered into force, and its membership has gradually broadened. These developments are of importance not only in themselves, but also for the international trading system and its potential future evolution. The GPA’s successful renegotiation, the continuing growth of its membership, and its vitality as an instrument of public policy were not achieved through happenstance. This Article discusses a number of specific design features of the GPA that clearly facilitated the successful conclusion of the renegotiation and that, as such, may in the future be relevant to other areas of global trade liberalization. In addition to the Agreement’s plurilateral nature, of particular interest are the approach taken with respect to application of the most-favored­ nation treatment (MFN) principle in the Agreement; the GPA’s continuing strong emphasis on principles of reciprocity in market access concessions; and its * Robert D.

  • A History of Food Security and Agriculture in International Trade Law, 1945–2017
    A History of Food Security and Agriculture in International Trade Law, 1945–2017 Michael Fakhri Abstract One common assumption about international trade law is that its main function as a regulatory system is to reduce the occurrence of trade distortions. Another related assumption is that the development of the contemporary regime of international trade, historically, has been driven by one single overarching doctrine, the principle of trade liberalisation. This article seeks to dispute these assumptions by showing that the contemporary regime of international trade is, in fact, the product of interaction involving three closely related but analytically distinct doctrines: the principle of market stabilization, the doctrine of freer trade, and the principle of food security. Proceeding from this starting point, this article aims to map out an alternative way of approaching the history of international trade law, by exploring how the interaction between these three doctrines has influenced the construction of the contemporary international trade regime, how each of them has come to be defined at different moments, and how these definitions have changed and evolved over time. In doing so, it also offers an alternative understanding of the institutional reality of international trade regulation by placing at the centre of the last seven decades of international trade law history the question of agriculture and by including FAO, UNCTAD, and international commodity agreements alongside the GATT and the WTO. 1 Introduction Food and agriculture have always been central to the question of the World Trade Organization’s (WTO) legitimacy. Transnational social movements have been key to this dynamic and have long retained a steady, outside presence in the broader policy debates about the possible reform or ending of the WTO; they have done so in 1Gathii (2011).

As Legal Counsel of the United Nations and head of the Office of Legal Affairs, it is my responsibility to support your activities through the International Trade Law Division. Together with my colleagues in Vienna, led by Ms. Joubin-Bret, I am proud to discharge this function and to participate in the success of your efforts. This year I should have had the pleasure of welcoming you to the United Nations Headquarters for your annual session, but as we all know, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to cancel or postpone larger meetings in all United Nations duty stations. My colleagues and I are grateful for your understanding and your willingness to conduct at least part of your important business by videoconference, and thereby avoid a complete standstill in your work programme. I also appreciate the efforts made by my colleagues, both within the International Trade Law Division and at the Department for General Assembly and Conference Management for their efforts in making your deliberations possible despite these challenging circumstances. For the last 75 years, the United Nations has been at the centre of international law-making. I cannot recapitulate in these few minutes the impressive record of achievements of the organization and its unique contribution to the development, UNITED NATIONS, OFFICE OF LEGAL AFFAIRS codification and implementation of international law.
