The Practical Guide is unique in providing a concise and simply-worded
guide to the World Trade Organization (WTO), from a human rights
perspective.
Importantly, the Practical Guide contains pointers for individuals and
groups concerned with human rights to respond to the threats trade and
trade rules can pose to the enjoyment of human rights. It describes
human rights mechanisms that can be applied by people concerned to
ensure that trade, trade rules or the domestic implementation of
international trade rules are carried out in a way that does not have
negative impacts on human rights.
The Practical Guide points out some simple actions those concerned about
trade liberalization can undertake to ensure accountability of economic
decision-makers. It also contains detailed reference and contact
information for those wishing to learn more about how to undertake work
relating to trade.
The Guide has been designed as a tool to use in training as well as a
reference source.
No prior knowledge of trade or economic issues is required to read and
make good use of the Practical Guide.
Whilst it is written primarily for a human rights audience, the Practical
Guide will interest a broader audience including journalists,
parliamentarians, students and other interested people. Its case studies
focus primarily on Asian countries but the subject-matter is of relevance for
readers from all regions.
