Trade-Based Strategies For Combatting Child Labor, Frank J. Garcia, Soohyun Jun
Trade-Based Strategies For Combatting Child Labor, Frank J. Garcia, Soohyun Jun
Frank J. Garcia
International commerce facilitates abusive child labor when it offers a market for the goods produced through such practices. International trade sanctions are thus a logical avenue for confronting abusive child labor, by eliminating the commercial opportunities for such goods. However, it is not clear that domestic child labor sanctions would survive legal challenge under WTO law as currently interpreted. For international trade law to serve as a viable strategy for change, there must first be a clear theoretical and doctrinal case for the WTO-consistency of domestic child labor-based sanctions. In this chapter, we present this case, using the U.S. section …

Reactive And Pre-Emptive Use Of Anti-Dumping Measures In The Post-Quota Textiles & Clothing Trade, Umair H. Ghori
Umair H. Ghori
Textiles and clothing (T&C) sector is of critical importance to developing countries/Least developed countries (LDCs). With the expiration of quotas in 2005, many developing countries/LDCs have experienced considerable adjustment challenges. With the end of quotas and the increase in competitive pressures on countries, use of anti-dumping measures, has become increasingly attractive as a market protection mechanism. This presentation assesses the use of anti-dumping measures in T&C sector through two possible application scenarios i.e. developing-to-developing countries and developed-to-developing countries. The presentation refers to earlier work done by Chad Bown on the Endogenous Trade Policy theory and would extend Bown’s analysis to …

...And The Twain Shall Meet?, Lance A. Compa
Lance A Compa
[Excerpt] No country or company should gain a commercial edge in international trade by jailing or killing union organizers, crushing independent union movements, or banning strikes. Gaining an advantage in labor costs should not depend on exploiting child labor or forced labor, or discriminating against women or oppressed ethnic groups. Deliberately exposing workers to life-threatening safety and health hazards, or holding wages and benefits below livable levels should not be permissible corporate strategies. But these are exactly the abuses that happen all too often in a rapidly globalized world trading system based on "free trade."
