If you struggle with the arcane-ness of the terminology used in the World Trade Organization (WTO), or are confused by the legal-ese of human rights language, this page is for you! This is where we will seek to demystify some of the complex and technical language used by specialists in both areas, in an attempt to improve understanding between the two.
3D´s very own glossary of trade terms provides concise definitions that dispel the notions that the Swiss formula is a milk product, that the Amber box is something you might offer as a gift, and why the link between SPs, SSMs and the G33 is so topical.
We will continue to improve our own glossary, and to add links from here to other trade glossaries, as well as to human rights glossaries, so please visit us again soon!
