Abstract: Abstract At the end of the Second World War, interest, enthusiasm and commitment to trade liberalization was exceedingly high among the major trading countries. Even before the International Trade Organization (ITO) charter2 was approved, 23 of the 50 participants of the Bretton Woods conference decided, as early as in 1946, to launch negotiations with an objective to reduce tariffs and bind them. These economies were eager to give an impetus to trade liberalization and to “begin correcting the legacy of protectionist measures”, which were in place since the early 1930s.
