Wall mural 'The Irish Industrial Revolution', in a stairwell of the WTO headquarters. The wall mural, was a gift to the ILO which previously occupied the building. The WTO has 164 members, and in theory, negotiates and regulates global trade. It is however in crisis: new multi-lateral trade negotiations have been stalled for years, while it's principle dispute settlement body, the 'crown jewels' of the WTO and the global trading system, is almost completely blocked. Calls for reform are intensifying.
