Abstract
The article discusses the World Trade Organization Appellate Body's issuance of a report on the "European Communities--Measures Prohibiting the Importation and Marketing of Seal Products" dispute in 2014, and it mentions how a European Union prohibition on the importation and sale of seal products violated the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (GATT). The efforts to protect public morals and animal welfare are examined, along with international trade restrictions and human rights.
