Caribbean wants US to comply with WTO ruling

PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, CMC – Caribbean leaders are calling on the United States to comply with the ruling by the World Trade Organisation (WTO) to end the long running dispute with Antigua and Barbuda on internet gaming. In a ruling last month, the Geneva-based WTO allowed Antigua and Barbuda to suspend certain concessions and obligations it has under international law to the United States in respect of intellectual property rights. Washington has criticised the move by St. John’s warning that it might further hurt trade relations between the two countries.
