World Trade Organisation and E
The World Trade Organisation has come under fire recently due to conflicting views on its ability, or rather, responsibility to police environment-related issues through trade regulations. As a result of W.T.O.s decisions on such cases, two distinct groups have formed; those who support W.T.O. making decisions on such issues, and those who don't.The main supporters of W.T.O in this situation are lesser developed or developing countries (such as India, Malaysia, Brazil, Venezuela and Thailand). These countries' main gripe is with developed countries such as the United States (U.S.) which they accuse of trying to "...pressure [them] to adopt standards that are ill-suited to their strained economies..." (Weinstein & Charnovitz, 2001). The "Tuna-Dolphin", "Gasoline" and "Shrimps & Turtles" cases are prime examples of

Lower Panel's ruling, on the "Shrimps & Turtles" case .
