Mercy me Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I don't see where the WTO thinks that it has the right to violate copyrights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socrates Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 [quote name='rkwright' post='1442887' date='Jan 7 2008, 01:17 AM']Maybe not... It does have some advantages though. Trade policies are much easier to set down - a country only has to negotiate one time and then has to grant those barriers\rates to all other countries. It grants a 'world court' to bring complaints instead of just having trade wars.[/quote] My point is that such an organization violates national sovereignity - I do not believe in principle in "world courts" dictating how America and other sovereign nations trade - just as I do not want America's foreign policy dictated by the U.N., or other transnational bodies. And there is no guarantee that the decisions of such a "world court" will be fair, just, and disinterested - the members of such a court will represent the interests of those who put them in power.
