International Trade Law includes the appropriate rules and customs for handling trade between countries. International trade laws are very complex and an ever expanding area. It should be distinguished from the broader field of international economic law. The latter could be said to encompass not only WTO law, but also law governing the international monetary system and currency regulation, as well as the law of international development.
This branch of law is now an independent field of study as most governments have become part of the world trade, as members of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Since the transaction between private sectors of different countries is an important part of the WTO activities, this latter branch of law is now a very important part of the academic works and is under study in many institutes across the world.
To build the capacities in the area of International Trade laws and WTO, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) has brought out a Post Qualification Course in International Trade Laws (ITL) and World Trade Organisation (WTO) for its members.
