Objectifs:
Understand the principles of trade liberalization under the auspices of the World Trade Organization (WTO).
Contenu:
The course focuses on trade in goods and dispute settlement in the WTO. We start with the economic history of the WTO, and then move to
review sequentially first trade in goods (customs duties, quotas, environmental-, public health policies, safeguards, etc.), and finally the
organization of dispute settlement in the WTO.

The mode of examination is described in detail in the relevant Law Faculty statutes. Students are required to take two multiple-choice exams,
one in the mid semester, and one at the end of the semester.
