Human Rights in the WTO: Whose Rights, What Humanity? Comment on Petersmann
Full text available: PDF format
Abstract
The relationship between human rights and market freedoms is far more complex than Petersmann acknowledges. Although Petersmann relies heavily upon notions such as constitutionalism and democratic decision‐making, the terms are ill‐defined and their application unconvincing. The author engages with Petersmann's contention that governments would contemplate greater international market intervention to promote social goals and challenges his interpretation of several of the leading WTO decisions.
