WTO guiding principles:​

There are five key guiding principles of WTO:

Non-discrimination:

• The most favoured nation (MFN) rule and the national treatment policy are the two main components of WTO.
• Both are enshrined in the core WTO rules on goods, services, and intellectual property, but the scope and character of each vary.
• According to the MFN rule, a WTO member must apply the same terms to all trade with other WTO members.
• WTO members must provide all other WTO members with the most favourable conditions under which it allows trade in a certain product type.
• According to WTO "If you do something unique for someone, you must do the same for all other WTO members."
• It says, imported commodities should be treated equally to domestically produced goods under national treatment.

Reciprocity:

• It represents an ability to limit the extent of possible free-riding as a result of the MFN regulation.
• It also desires to get better access to international markets.

Binding and enforceable commitments:

• A Schedule of concessions is a tariff commitment.
• It is made by the WTO members on the basis of multilateral trade negotiation and on accession is enumerated in a legal instrument.
• From the schedule, we can know about ceiling bindings.
• According to 'Ceiling binding' only after negotiating with its trading partners, a country can change its buildings.
• It means compensating them for the loss of trade.
• A country that is complaining can invoke the WTO settlement procedure if they don't get satisfaction.

​Transparency:

• WTO members must publish their trade regulations.
• That maintains institutions for the examination of official decisions that affect trade, replies to requests for information from other members, and notifies the WTO of any changes in trade policies.
• The WTO system also aims to increase predictability and stability by prohibiting the use of quotas and other restrictions on import amounts.

​Safety values:

• Governments can impose trade restrictions in certain circumstances.
• Members of the WTO can take steps to protect not only the environment, but also public health, animal health, and plant health.

​Thus, WTO has 5 guiding principles.
