WTO members made history when the General Council agreed by consensus to select Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala of Nigeria as the organization\u2019s seventh Director-General.<\/p>\n

Ms.\u00a0Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala<\/a>, Nigeria\u2019s former finance minister is the first female and first African leader, handing her the task of restoring trust in a rules-based global trading system.<\/p>\n

The WTO is at a crossroads after many countries seemed to take a step back from long-standing norms governing international trade. Also, its appellate body has been paralyzed for months after the U.S. prevented the appointment of new judges, therefore, rendering it unable to rule on any trade disputes.<\/p>\n
