Havana Charter was the charter of the defunct International Trade Organization(ITO). It was signed by 53 countries on March 24, 1948. It allowed for international cooperation and rules against anti-competitive business practices. The charter ultimately failed because the Congress of the United States rejected it. Elements of it would later become part of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade(GATT). The charter, proposed by John Maynard Keynes, was to establish the ITO and a financial institution called the International Clearing Union(ICU), and an international currency; the bancor. The Havana Charter institutions were to stabilize trade by encouraging nations to "net zero", with trade surplus and trade deficit both discouraged. This negative feedback was to be accomplished by allowing nations overdraft equal to half the average value of the country's trade over the preceding five years, with interest charged on both surplus and deficit. 2, record 1, English, - Havana%20Charter

La Charte de La Havane a été négociée au sortir de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Cette charte prévoyait la création d'une Organisation internationale du commerce (OIC) totalement intégrée à l'ONU. C'est donc plus qu'un accord puisqu'il se serait révélé à travers une véritable organisation. Cette charte est signée le 24 mars 1948 mais elle n'est pas ratifiée par le congrès américain (changement de majorité entre temps). Néanmoins les négociations continuent en particulier sur ce qui avait été prévu par la charte de La Havane en voulant appliquer provisoirement le GATT (accords général sur les tarifs douaniers et le commerce). Le GATT avait été signé en 1947, et prévoyait, en attendant la validation de la charte de La Havane, d'être appliqué. Cette charte abandonnée sera remplacée par la création de l'OMC (Organisation mondiale du commerce). 2, record 1, French, - Charte%20de%20La%20Havane

... non-discrimination and multilateral negotiation were the founding principles of Gatt(General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, old name for World Trade Organization). They were seen as ways to protect the weak from the bullying of the strong; to promote economically rational trade, instead of arbitrary favours; and to put coherent and predictable rules in place of a patchwork of mutually inconsistent and complex trading regimes. 1, record 3, English, - patchwork%20of%20trading%20regime

[...] la non-discrimination et la négociation multilatérale ont constitué les principes fondamentaux du GATT [Accord général sur les tarifs douaniers et le commerce, ancien nom de l'Organisation mondiale du commerce]. On considérait en effet, que ces règles pouvaient protéger les faibles contre la tyrannie des puissants, qu'elles pouvaient donner plus de place à la logique économique dans les transactions commerciales, au lieu de conférer des avantages arbitraires, et qu'elles permettaient en outre de subsituer à une mosaïque de régimes commerciaux complexes et incohérents des règles harmonieuses et prévisibles. 1, record 3, French, - mosa%C3%AFque%20de%20r%C3%A9gimes%20commerciaux
