The WTI wishes the ACWL all the best on its anniversary and congratulates it on the outstanding work it has been doing in these last 20 years advising its developing country members and LDCs on all issues relating to WTO law. We are very proud that some of our alumni have been able to share their knowledge and expertise while working at the ACWL and we certainly hope that current and future WTI students will find their way to the ACWL, kickstarting their professional journey there.
