Deputy Director-General  of the WTO Alan Wolff at left with Ambassador Junichi Ihara of Japan, at the time, chair of the WTO's General Council, prior to a tense meeting of Heads of Delegations. The World Trade Organisation, headquartered in Geneva, 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.
