Repairman and staff in the atrium of the WTO in Geneva. This former courtyard was given a roof as part of a modernisation of the building, creating an informal meeting space. 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.
