Portrait of Swiss diplomat William Rappard, in the WTO Head Quarters in Geneva, and after whom the building is named (Centre William Rappard). He is credited with bringing the League of Nations and the International Labour Organisation to Geneva. 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.
