OAS, WTO, and George Washington University Organize Course on Trade Agenda of the Americas
June 19, 2011
The Organization of American States (OAS), jointly with the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the George Washington University School of Law, will hold a course titled, “A Trade Agenda for the Americas: The Doha Program for Development and Trade Agreements in the Hemisphere,” from June 20 to July 1st in Washington, DC.
The class, to be held on the campus of the George Washington University Law School with participants from 15 Latin American countries, will analyze the principal issues on the hemispheric trade agenda, with special emphasis on the Doha Program for Development and the trade agreements ratified by the countries of the hemisphere, which include, among others: the role of trade in strategies for development, access to markets, agriculture, trade in services, investment, and intellectual property rights.
The Director of the OAS Department of Economic Development, Trade and Tourism, Jorge Saggiante, highlighted the need to develop human resources and the capabilities of institutions responsible for the design and implementation of trade policy, and the importance placed by this organization on issues of development. “The OAS makes the most of its technical capacities and its renowned scholarship program to organize this type of course, jointly with the WTO and with the financial support of countries like Spain and Canada, and thus contribute to institutional strengthening in its Member States,” he remarked.
The presentations will be made by experts and analysts from the WTO, the OAS, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and other international and regional organizations, as well as university professors, lawyers and officials from different Latin American countries with broad practical experience in the design and handling of trade policy.
