Exceptions that will justify imposition

Reference no: EM132838518

Question: As the extent of the Covid-19 threat became clearer, Nation States began placing restrictions on transit and exports of essential medical items, such as medicines and personal protective equipment and even vaccines. Some States have even introduced measures to stockpile vaccines and other medical products in quantities that exceed their needs. These measures have been condemned by many, including the new Director General of the WTO, Ngozi OkonjoIweala, who has referred to some measures by some States as ‘vaccine nationalism'.

Analyse how provisions of the GATT apply to these types of measures. Do they amount to a breach of States' obligations or are there exceptions that will justify their imposition? Would it make a difference if, for example, restrictions were imposed and maintained only on select
countries?

Refer to GATT article XI, XX, XXI
