History

Historical Context

The World Trade Organization began on 1 January 1995 after 123 nations signed the Marrakesh Agreement on 15 April 1994, replacing the 1948 GATT. The Uruguay Round’s 1994 negotiations produced the TRIPS Agreement, setting minimum intellectual-property standards that still govern global trade. This legacy of multilateral rule-making underpins today’s significant debates over international AI regulation.
