Світову організацію торгівлі було створено в 1995 році. Це одна з наймолодших міжнародних організацій. Вона є єдиною міжнародною організацією, яка має справу з основними правилами торгівлі між країнами. Вона керує торговельними угодами і діє як форум для торгових переговорів. Вона також співпрацює з іншими міжнародними організаціями.

Урегулювання торгових конфліктів – одне з найважливіших завдань Світової організації торгівлі.

Угоди Світової організації торгівлі – це основні правові норми міжнародної торгівлі. Вони гарантують країнам-членам важливі торгові права.

Світова організація торгівлі також регулює торгівлю послугами та інтелектуальною власністю.

Головне управління Світової організації торгівлі розташоване в Женеві (Швейцарія).
