Post-graduation of LDCs: Implications in the context of the WTO

This briefing paper presents an overview of LDCs graduation issues and support measures applied to LDCs in terms of assisting their efforts towards graduation in the context of the WTO. The brief also highlights important proposals for consideration towards enabling a “post- graduation soft landing” of LDCs, especially with regard to their status in the WTO. It summarises a study by CUTS International Geneva on “Support for post-graduation soft-landing of LDCs: Implications in the context of the WTO” authored by Taffere Tesfachew.
