Q. Recently, which country has invoked the peace clause for rice at the World Trade Organization (WTO)?
Answer:
India
Notes: India has invoked the WTO's Peace Clause for the fifth time, citing breach of rice subsidy limits. The clause shields developing nations from dispute challenges regarding subsidy breaches. Global trade norms dictate subsidies should not exceed 10% of production value based on a 1986-88 reference price. India seeks amendments to this formula and proposed the Peace Clause in 2013 as an interim measure until a permanent solution is negotiated.
