In 1993, the GATT was updated ( GATT 1994 ) to include new obligations upon its signatories.
One of the most significant changes was the creation of the World Trade Organization ( WTO ).
The 75 existing GATT members and the European Communities became the founding members of the WTO on 1 January 1995.
The other 52 GATT members rejoined the WTO in the following two years ( the last being Congo in 1997 ).
Since the founding of the WTO, 21 new non-GATT members have joined and 29 are currently negotiating membership.
There are a total of 157 member countries in the WTO, with Russia and Vanuatu being new members as of 2012.
