| Abstract: | The article reviews some of the common features shared by the trade and human rights regimes. Some distinction is, however, drawn between the types of legal obligations and rights contained in both human rights covenants and WTO Agreements, and a closer look is taken at how right-holders and duty-providers are denned. Attention is drawn to how the multilateral trading system can be said to support the fulfilment of human rights. Particular attention is also given to the safeguards and exceptions contained in WTO Agreements, especially Articles XX and XXI of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). In this paper, for the purpose of analysis, some distinction is drawn between the types of rights enshrined in the ICCPR and the ICESCR. |
