		The World Customs Organization (WCO) is an intergovernmental organization that helps Members (currently Customs administrations from 169 countries) communicate and co-operate on customs issues.
		It was established in 1952 as the Customs Co-operation Council; it adopted its current name in 1994.
		On 1 July 2006 Tapani Erling from Finland was elected chairman of the council of the organisation, replacing Pravin Gordhan (2000-2006) from South Africa, who had held the chair for the past five years.

		The World Trade Organization (WTO, French: Organisation mondiale du commerce, Spanish: Organización Mundial del Comercio, German: Welthandelsorganisation) is an international, multilateral organization, which sets the rules for the global trading system and resolves disputes between its member states; all of whom are signatories to its approximately 30 agreements.
		Members of the UN Conference on Trade and Employment in Havana agreed to the ITO charter in March 1948, but ratification was blocked by the U.S. Senate (WTO, 2004b).
		While most international organizations operate on a one country, one vote or even a weighted voting basis, many WTO decisions, such as adopting agreements (and revisions to them) are officially determined by consensus of all member states.

	The International Criminal Court vs. the American People (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		If, however, the United States were to join the ICC treaty regime, the prosecutions undertaken by the court, whether involving the actions of Americans in the United States or overseas, would be "as much on behalf of the United States as of" any other State Party.
		United States participation in the ICC treaty regime would also be unconstitutional because it would allow the trial of American citizens for crimes committed on American soil, which are otherwise entirely within the judicial power of the United States.
		However, the United States should inform countries in which U.S. troops are stationed that ratification of the ICC would present a direct threat to U.S. soldiers stationed within their borders and, therefore, would require a reassessment of the terms and conditions of its U.S. overseas troop deployments.

	World Trade Organization - Council on Foreign Relations
		The central issue being negotiated at the September 10-14 World Trade Organizationmeeting in Cancun, Mexico, is expanding poor countries' access to global markets and reducing agricultural subsidies in developed countries.
		These countries are hard pressed to compete against richer nations, such as the United States, members of the European Union (E.U.), and Japan, that support their farmers with subsidies.
		"The United States has just passed a huge, enlarged subsidy bill [that will add $82 billion over 10 years to U.S. agricultural subsidies], and how much give there is in the U.S.-E.U. position, I don't know." Nigel Purvis, a scholar at The Brookings Institution who was involved in the 1999 WTO talks in Seattle, agrees.
