The WTO agreements limit but do not undermine the ability of nation states to advance human rights at home and abroad... Despite...limitations, omissions and lack of clarity [in WTO agreements], policymakers can and are finding ways to advance human rights at home and abroad as they expand trade... In the final section, I delineate recommendations to WTO member states. Why is this important? Nation states have few tools to influence the human rights practices of other governments. Trade is one such tool. But the international system does not delineate how and when nations can use trade...to alter the behavior of policymakers in another state with respect to human rights.
