Abstract

The World Trade Organization is the only international organization with general jurisdiction in relation to trade rules between governments and is one of the basic pillars of world governance. At the center of the World Trade Organization are trade agreements that cover all three sectors: goods, services, and intellectual property. The principle of non-discrimination is one of the basic principles of the multilateral trade system, which is stated in the preamble of the WTO Agreement as the main tool to achieve the goals of the organization. In this introduction, the members of the World Trade Organization have explicitly declared their desire to eliminate discriminatory behavior in international trade relations. The principle of non-discrimination is divided into two principles, the behavioral commitment of the entire El-Wodad government and the national behavioral commitment. And these two principles are expressed in all three areas of trade in goods, services and intellectual property. In this research, an attempt has been made to investigate the interaction of the principle of non-discrimination in the procedure of the World Trade Organization with the theory of public services with the analytical descriptive method and the use of library resources and international documents. According to the results of the World Trade Organization's research, there are several fundamental principles for trade that must be followed: "The principle of non-discrimination" This principle itself has two sub-rules: 1) "The rule of conduct of the state of totality" in the sense of adopting equal treatment with people from different countries, according to which the goods, services and intellectual works of all foreigners should be treated the same in principle. 2) "Rule of national behavior" means adopting equal treatment with domestic and foreign persons, according to which, in principle, there should be no discrimination between the goods, services and intellectual works of foreigners and domestic ones.
