World Trade Organization (WTO)

In an interconnected, interdependent global market economy trade isn’t just commerce- it’s power. Nations have discovered that controlling critical supply chains, from rare earth minerals to semiconductors to pharmaceuticals and energy, can create a ripple in rival economies without a single shot being fired, trade has become one of the most effective geopolitical tools for coercion. Predatory practices including dumping, unfair subsidies and intellectual property theft have further distorted global markets today, while WTO stands paralysed by the outdated rules and ignored rulings by countries. Delegates will work to redesign the rule of global trade, curbing exploitation, reducing dangerous dependencies such as Europe’s reliance on Russian gas, or the world’s dependence on Taiwan for advanced chips, inorder to restore fairness to an international system that is increasingly being weaponised by economic leverage. Individuals who are passionate about economics, geopolitics and the architecture of global power, the WTO committee is the place for you.
