-The '''Marrakesh Agreement''', signed in [[Marrakech]], [[Morocco]], on [[April 15]], [[1994]], established the [[World Trade Organization]], which came into being upon its entry into force on [[January 1]], [[1995]]. The Marrakesh Agreement developed out of the [[General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade]], which it includes; but it supplemented it with several other agreements, on such issues as trade in services, sanitary and plant health measures, [[Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights|trade-related aspects of intellectual property]], and technical barriers to trade. It also established a new, more efficient and legally binding means of dispute resolution. The various agreements which make up the Marrakesh Agreement combine as an indivisible whole; no entity can be party to any one agreement without being party to them all.  It was the culmination of the [[Uruguay Round]] of trade negotiations originally launched in [[1986]].
