The International Trade Organization (ITO) is an intergovernmental organization which promotes and regulates international trade. Its primary goal is the multilateral reduction of barriers to trade, especially in the form of quotas and tariffs, and the establishment of uniform rules designed to make global trade free and fair. The ITO officially commenced on 1 January 1995 under the City Agreement signed on 15 April 1994, replacing the World Agreement for Trade (WAT), which commenced in 1938.

Current ITO Director Dominica Giordàn

The ITO takes major decisions at its International Trade Conference held every two years, at which national ministers of finance meet to determine what actions should be taken to further encourage the development of trade. Day-to-day governance is the responsibility of the Director of the ITO, currently Montecaran politician Dominica Giordàn (since 1 January 2020). She is supported in her work by a secretariat consisting of approximately 650 staff members.
