So, until there are international bodies to address these externalities, or until the WTO will address these (the WTO standard bullshit line is "our mandate is only to regulate trade"), the WTO only creates problems.
And this is why the last WTO talks failed - Western nations wanted to address these very problems - but the undeveloped nations weren't listening because they wanted the agricultural issues sorted out first.
