This paper advocates that the World Trade Organization (u201cWTOu201d) should revise the accession process for countries<br>classified by the World Bank as u201cFragile and Conflict Affectedu201d (u201cFCAu201d), in order to expedite the accession timeline and allow more expansive concessions, transition times, and technical assistance, similar to the terms of accession currently applied to Least Developed Countries (u201cLDCsu201d). Specifically, WTO should permit FCA countries recovering from crisis, genocide, natural disaster, or other severe unrest, to take advantage of the more flexible u201cspecial and differential treatmentu201d
