The WTO has announced that it is to disband and replace itself with an organisation the charter of which will be based on the universal declaration of human rights.

Not much info, but what there is appears on http://www.gatt.org (the modern lefty's favourite website)

My reading is that in response to public outcry and protests from poorer nations the WTO is to start to consider human rights issues in it's determinations and rules from now on, with a new structure to be in place by Sept 30th.

Did anyone notice this?

Does anyone care?

What does anyone think this means?
