<prompt> Etsa lipatlisiso le ho hlalosa maemo a nalane a lebisitseng ho thehoeng ha Mokhatlo oa Lefatše oa Khoebonan  <response>: Instruction in English: Research and describe the historical context which led to the creation of the World Trade Organization . Response in English: The World Trade Organization, or WTO for short, is an international organization that deals with the regulation of trade between its member nations. Its primary function is to ensure that global trade flows smoothly, predictably, and as freely as possible. The WTO has its roots in the aftermath of World War II when the international community was seeking ways to prevent future global conflict and promote economic cooperation.In the aftermath of the war, international leaders met in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, USA to devise a new global economic framework. They established the International Monetary Fund IMF and the World Bank to promote international economic cooperation and prevent currency devaluations that had contributed to the global depression of the 1930s. They also laid the foundations for an International Trade Organization ITO that would regulate the trade of goods and services globally. However, plans for the ITO fell apart due to opposition from the United States Congress.In the absence of the ITO, an interim measure was taken to promote global free trade. In 1947, in Geneva, Switzerland, 23 countries signed the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade GATT, which regulated international trade by reducing tariffs and other trade barriers. GATT provided the framework for the negotiation of several rounds of trade liberalization over the following decades.By the late 1980s, it was clear that the world economy had changed significantly since the creation of GATT. Countries had begun to trade greater volumes of services, and the rise of global production chains had made it increasingly difficult to regulate trade in goods. There was a need for a more comprehensive and adaptable global trade organization, leading to several years of negotiation among GATT member nations.Finally, in 1994, the Uruguay Round of trade negotiations concluded with the signing of the Marrakesh Agreement, which established the World Trade Organization. The WTO incorporated the previous principles of the GATT, but with added provisions for the trade of services, intellectual property, and dispute settlement, amongst others.Since its creation, the WTO has played an important role in the regulation of global trade, promoting economic growth and development, and helping to reduce global poverty. Its members are now responsible for more than 98 of global trade, and it remains the only international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations. .
