By WTO, I take it that you mean World Trade Organization. The WTO replaced GATT (General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs) on the 1st of January 1995.
actually GATT is a part of WTO and WTO is a body under UNO
False. WTO & GATT are both global trade agreements. The WTO later replaced GATT. World Trade Organization - an organizational headquarter, international trade, "leadership coordinance" General Agreement on Tariff and Trade - seeks to reduce tariffs and taxed between nations.
1995
it doesnt
It began in 1948 and was replaced in 1955 by WTO.
While the GATT functioned well enough, the leading members wished to replace it with a world-wide trade-regulating body like the WTO for a number of reasons. First, the GATT rules applied to trade only in merchandise goods. In addition to goods, the WTO covers trade in services and trade-related aspects of intellectual property (through the agreement on Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights-TRIPs). Second, while GATT was a multilateral instrument, by the 1980s many new agreements of a plurilateral, and therefore selective nature had been added. The agreements which constitute the WTO are almost all multilateral and, thus, involve commitments for the entire membership. Third, The WTO dispute settlement system is faster, more automatic, and thus much less susceptible to blockages, than the old GATT system. But beyond these practical and functional reasons for establishing the WTO, there were also more philosophical and symbolic reasons. The GATT was a set of rules, a multilateral agreement, with no institutional foundation, only a small associated secretariat which had its origins in the attempt to establish an International Trade Organization in the 1940s. By contrast, the WTO is a permanent institution with its own secretariat. Moreover, the GATT was applied on a "provisional basis" even if, after more than forty years, governments chose to treat it as a permanent commitment while the WTO commitments are fully and functionally permanent.
GATT is now known as WTO. The disadvantage of GATT is, It requires the member country to be market oriented, which is not possible for under developed countries that are facing poverty.
