Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2012 in the subject Law - European and International Law, Intellectual Properties, grade: A, , course: LAW, language: English, abstract: We must spare no effort to free all of humanity, and above all our children andgrandchildren, from the threat of living on a planet irredeemably spoilt by humanactivities, and whose resources would no longer be sufficient for their needs(United Nations Millennium Declaration, GA Res. 55/2).Since the increasing pressure on '' fair trade'' emphasized by massive streetdemonstrations at the 1999 Ministerial Conference in Seattle, the World TradeOrganization( WTO) has had to face new objectives raised by political, religiousand ideological interests, labor, animal and women's right.
