The WTO is governed by the head committee, The Ministerial
Conference. It consists of representatives of all WTO members. The
executive work of the WTO is performed by the General Council that
is responsible to the Ministerial Conference. This Council also has
representatives from all member countries. The General Council
functions in two forms, first, as the Dispute Settlement Body and
as the Trade Policy Review Body The General Council delegates its
work to three other major bodies - namely the Councils for Trade in
Goods, Trade in Services and Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual
Property. Three more bodies have been established by the
Ministerial Conference which report to the General Council. The
Committee on Trade and Development and The Committee on Balance of
Payments and The Committee on Budget.
