In creating the WTO and GATT before it, the world’s trading nations did more than enter into a contract. They also created a compact that is imbued with a series of values. No understanding of the WTO would be complete without understanding this qualitative aspect, often explicit, but sometimes only to be derived from the operation of the WTO and its agreements.
