to WTO - The Final Act of the Uruguay Round
The Final Act Embodying the Results of the Uruguay Round of
Multilateral Trade Negotiations", signed by ministers in
Marrakesh on 15 April 1994 is 550 pages long and contains legal texts
which spell out the results of the negotiations since the Round was
launched in Punta del Este, Uruguay, in September 1986. In addition to
the texts of the agreements, the Final Act also contains texts of
Ministerial Decisions and Declarations which further clarify certain
provisions of some of the agreements.
- WTO
Agreements: Implications and Imbalances --
This paper, by the former Director of UNCTAD's Trade Programmes,
provides a critique of some of the imbalances existing in the Uruguay
Round agreements, for the South countries. He argues that since these
agreements were targeted to obtain commitments and concessions from
the South, severe imbalances with adverse effects have resulted for
the South. Thus, the South should aim to correct these imbalances and
allow the WTO system to work for them.
