Blame it on the WTO? :
Joseph, Sarah
Blame it on the WTO? : a human rights critique / Blame it on the World Trade Organization Sarah Joseph. - Oxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, 2011. - xxxiii, 327 pages ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographical references (pages 299-318) and index.
Introducing the WTO and international human rights law regimes -- Relationship between the WTO and international human rights law -- Democratic deficit and the WTO -- 'Human rights' restrictions on trade -- The WTO, poverty, and development -- The WTO and the right to food -- TRIPS and the right to health -- Extraterritorial human rights duties -- WTO reform, the Doha Round, and other free trade initiatives -- Conclusion.
"After introducing the respective WTO and human rights regimes, and discussing their legal and normative relationship to each other, the book presents a detailed analysis of the main human rights concerns relating to the WTO. These include the alleged democratic deficit within the Organization and the impact of WTO rules on the right to health, labour rights, the right to food, and on questions of poverty and development. Given that some of the most important issues in the WTO concern its impact on poor people in developing states, the book asks whether rich states have an obligation to the people of poorer states to construct a fairer trading system that better facilitates the alleviation of poverty and development. Against this background, the book examines the current Doha round proposals, as well as suggestions for reform of the WTO to make it more 'human rights-friendly'"--Jacket.
