With reference to cultural and ethical issues, the World Trade Organization has?

  1. Made progress in providing equal protection of intellectual property among nations

  2. Neglected ethical trade practices

  3. Focused solely on economic growth

  4. Limited member nations' trading options

The correct answer is: Made progress in providing equal protection of intellectual property among nations

The World Trade Organization (WTO) has made significant strides in addressing the protection of intellectual property rights on a global scale, particularly through the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) agreement. This agreement aims to establish minimum standards of intellectual property protection that member nations must adhere to, fostering a more equitable trading environment. By promoting consistent protection across borders, the WTO seeks to enhance international trade by ensuring that innovations and creative works are legally protected against unauthorized use in different countries. This is crucial for fostering economic growth and innovation, as well as creating a fair competitive landscape in international markets. The emphasis on the importance of intellectual property underscores the WTO’s role in navigating cultural and ethical issues related to trade.
