The Centre for Trade and Investment Law (CTIL) is pleased to highlight Session 102 of the WTO Public Forum 2026, titled WTO Reform and Practical Action,” organised by the University of Zurich and scheduled for 17 September 2026 from 3:45–4:45 PM in Room D. The session will bring together economists, academics, WTO representatives, and WTO Chairs to discuss the future of the multilateral trading system and consider practical pathways for advancing WTO reform. The discussion will look beyond identifying areas that require change to also consider what Members and the Secretariat can do within the existing framework, with policy-oriented perspectives followed by reflections from WTO Chairs Prof. Amrita Bahri and Prof. Dr. James J. Nedumpara, and a moderated discussion with WTO Chief Economist Robert Staiger. The session aims to foster a constructive and forward-looking conversation on developing practical ideas that can contribute both to the longer-term reform of the WTO and to meaningful action within its existing rules and institutions.
