| dc.description.abstract | The World Trade Organisation (WTO) is an international organisation that establishes rules for international trade through consensus among its member states. It is a brainchild of the GATT, which was concluded after Second World War, same time the Universal Declaration of Human Right (UDHR) was passed. Despite the role of WTO in the observation of human rights principles enshrined in the UDHR, it has been widely criticised by some international communities for violation of human rights principles subscribed to by the signatory countries. This paper adopts a systematic review of WTO principles and their specific contradictions and violation of UDHR. Against the foregoing backdrop, the paper seeks to do a critique of the applicability of principles of WTO such as non-discrimination,national treatment,anti-subsidy, anti-dumping, and welfare among individuals in developing and least developed countries visa a viz its violation of human rights of the people and citizen rights in those countries. The paper reveals that there are serious and continuous violation of human rights of developing states by those who anchor the establishment of WTO thereby causing threat to the life,property,and economy of the least developed countries. The paper recommends complete overhauling of the process leading to the formation of the WTO with a true and sincere motive on the part of the developed nations and the leadership of the WTO to change their selfish and exploitation tendencies. | |
