[All L3M6 Questions]

If any health, environmental, enforcement, or conservation measures were found to conflict with WTO trade rules, the WTO would prioritise the protection of the environment over free trade.

ATRUE

BFALSE

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

False. The CIPS L3M6 syllabus explains that the World Trade Organization (WTO) prioritizes free trade, often subordinating environmental measures unless they align with trade rules (e.g., non-discrimination). CSR monitoring must navigate these tensions.
