建立世界贸易组织（WTO）协定(中英文）

Marrakesh Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization
 
建立世界贸易组织（WTO）协定
 
背景资料：１９９４年４月１５日在摩洛哥的马拉喀什市举行的关贸总协定乌拉圭回合部长会议决定成立更具全球性的世界贸易组织（世贸组织），以取代成立于１９４７年的关贸总协定（ＧＡＴＴ）。
　　世贸组织是一个独立于联合国的永久性国际组织。该组织的基本原则和宗旨是通过实施市场开放、非歧视和公平贸易等原则，来达到推动实现世界贸易自由化的目标。１９９５年１月１日正式开始运作，负责管理世界经济和贸易秩序，总部设在日内瓦莱蒙湖畔的关贸总协定总部大楼内。１９９６年１月１日，它正式取代关贸总协定临时机构。
　　与关贸总协定相比，世贸组织管辖的范围除传统的和乌拉圭回合新确定的货物贸易外，还包括长期游离于关贸总协定外的知识产权、投资措施和非货物贸易（服务贸易）等领域。世贸组织具有法人地位，它在调解成员争端方面具有更高的权威性和有效性。
建立世贸组织的设想是在１９４７年７月举行的布雷顿森林会议上提出的，当时设想在成立世界银行和国际货币基金组织的同时，成立一个国际性贸易组织，从而使它们成为二次大战后左右世界经济的“货币－金融－贸易”三位一体的机构。１９４７年联合国贸易及就业会议签署的《哈瓦那宪章》同意成立世贸组织，后来由于美国的反对，世贸组织未能成立。同年，美国发起拟订了关贸总协定，作为推行贸易自由化的临时契约。１９８６年关贸总协定乌拉圭回合谈判启动后，欧共体和加拿大于１９９０年分别正式提出成立世贸组织的议案，１９９４年４月在摩洛哥马拉喀什举行的关贸总协定部长级会议才正式决定成立世贸组织。
