Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law
Abstract
The note examines the tension between the World Trade Organization's (WTO) primary goal of promoting free trade and its efforts to address environmental concerns. While the WTO has established mechanisms like the Committee on Trade and Environment (CTE) to reconcile trade and environmental issues, critics argue that its framework prioritizes trade over environmental protection. The note concludes that the WTO's environmental aspirations are commendable but ultimately impractical due to the inherent conflict between trade liberalization and environmental goals.
