Summary
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in opening the United Nations General Assembly in September 2019 warned of great fractures, calling on the members to “reconnect with the Organization’s values, uphold human rights and restore trust.” Those words might equally have been applied to one of the historic fracture lines of the multilateral trading system. One of the most contentious topics within the system since its founding has been how best to include developing countries in its benefits and obligations. No solution has been found that has gained universal support.
