WTO: September Ministerial Likely?

This report from India's Economic Times suggests there might be one.

There might be another mini-ministerial meeting in Geneva in September. It would aim at concluding the deal which almost seemed within grasp in last month’s mini-ministerial meeting,” an official said. The Geneva meeting resulted in failure as the US and India (which was representing about 100 developing countries) could not agree on the special safeguards to protect poor farmers against a surge in imports.

In the ten years of its existence, WTO panels composed of corporate attorneys have ruled that: the US law protecting sea turtles was a barrier to "free trade"; that US clean air standards and laws protecting dolphins are too; that the European Union law banning hormone-treated beef is illegal. According to the WTO, our democratically elected public officials no longer have the rights to protect the environment and public health. Unlike United Nations treaties, the International Labor Organization conventions, or multilateral environmental agreements, WTO rules can be enforced through sanctions. This gives the WTO more power than any other international body. The WTO's authority even eclipses national governments.
